Speed sensors are designed for installation in drives as an alternative to the conventional encoders. They are contactless and are equipped with a magnetic scanning system which, in conjunction with a toothed wheel as measuring scale permits the measurement of rotary motion. This solution is exceptionally space saving.
The speed sensors are designed for highly reliable speed and direction measurements starting from 0 Hz and - due their metallic housings - are suitable for even the harshest working conditions. In addition, they tolerate large air gaps between target wheel and sensor element. The sensor elements, the magnet and the integrated electronic system are incorporated in state-of-the-art micro system technology and are fully encapsulated. The design together with subsequent circuitry ensures an electrically and mechanically robust product.
Advantages:
* The miniaturized sensors are dew-point proof, do not wear and are insensitive to dirt, shock and vibration.
* The toothed wheels can be adapted to any machine geometry (interior and exterior diameter, impulse number).
* MiniCoders require no maintenance and thus have a low cost of ownership.
* This extremely flexible system offers you not only long term reliability but also solutions to gain a competitive edge.
