Low-cost speed sensors target industrial applications

New Products | October 11, 2015

The Cherry modular speed sensors feature a plastic flange-mount housing and are suitable for many industrial applications including electric drives with speed regulation, braking systems, off-road vehicles, or conveyor technology to name a few. They come with a range of standard elements and interfaces from which a custom sensor can be configured to your exact requirements .

The modular system uses differential hall-chip sensor devices with a standard and fully-integrated magnetic circuit. The results are high quality engineered sensor products with a simple design that deliver a cost-effective very high performance device which can sense up to 20,000 rpm. Electrical connection to the sensors is possible via 2-wire, 3-wire, or 4-wire interfaces.

The components can be connected via output leads or a plug-in connector. The cylindrical housing is available with diameters starting from 13mm and with a length from 20mm up to 80mm. The mounting flange with screw offers a high degree of flexibility in regards of position, angle and alignment of the sensor.

The speed sensors have an operating temperature range from -40 up to +150°C and the housing meets at least IP67 specifications. The sensors will operate from a DC supply in the range of 4.5 to 24V and are protected against overvoltage and reverse voltage connection.
