General
Function The E12A series variable reluctance (VR) speed sensors consist of an iron core,
an inductive coil, and a permanent magnet. A ferrous pole wheel passing the
sensor face changes the magnetic field strength, resulting in an AC voltage
being induced in the coil. The frequency of the output signal is proportional to the
speed of the moving target. The amplitude of the signal depends on speed, air
gap, geometry of target, magnetic properties of target material, and the electrical
load. VR sensors, also known as passive or electromagnetic sensors, do not
require an external supply.
Technical data
Coil properties Inductance @ 1 kHz: 170 mH ± 10%
Resistance: 850 Ohm ± 10%
Magnet polarity: north pole towards front face
Pole piece: diameter 2.7 mm
Polarity Upon approach of ferrous metal, the signal pin is positive with respect to GND.
Signal output The signal frequency is proportional to the target speed.
The signal amplitude shown in the figure is valid for a load of 100 kOhm, and is
affected by air gap, target geometry and material. It is also proportional to the
linear speed of the teeth.
