MEGA Telemetry
Universal modular near-field telemetry. MEGA Telemetry measures contactlessly, directly on the rotating part, and transmits the readings wirelessly in the near field to the pickup.
Modular and cascadable to 256 channels, built for motorsport, aerospace, rail and the test bench.

Measuring principle
Near-field telemetry on the moving part.
MEGA Telemetry measures directly on the rotating shaft or moving part, with no mechanical connection to the stationary side and no additional component in the load path. The modules sit on the rotating part and transmit their data wirelessly in the near field to the pickup. Even at speeds up to 300,000 rpm the system delivers dependable readings.
Contactless & wear-free
Wireless near-field transmission needs no mechanical contact with the rotating side. The system is maintenance-free and stays stable under vibration, shock and changing temperature.
Modular & cascadable
Each module captures four channels. Modules chain together and expand to as many as 256 channels per system, cut exactly to the measuring task.
Real time & synchronous
Up to 250 kHz per channel at 16 bit, system latency under 5 ms and absolute time stamps make for synchronous, highly dynamic measuring chains.
The system
Three building blocks.
Base, pickup and module together form a complete, scalable measuring chain, from a single channel up to 256.
01 · Hub
MEGA base
The gateway of the system. It powers the measuring chain, synchronises via PTP/NTP and delivers the data over Ethernet, IENA, openDAQ, analogue ±10 V or CAN FD. Optionally 19″ rack-mountable.
02 · Receiver
Pickup
Reads the data from the rotating modules contactlessly in the near field and connects to the base over a cable of up to >25 m.
03 · Acquisition
MEGA module
Sits on the rotating part, captures four channels at 16 bit and up to 250 kHz, and cascades to as many as 256 channels. Powered inductively, by battery or by direct current.
Modules variants
One module, three designs.
Same measuring performance, different housing: choose the variant that suits your installation space, connector and environment.
Variant 01
Standard
A flexibly mountable module with connector and flange housing for general use on rotating parts.
Variant 02
Slip in
