Honeywell SNG-S Speed Sensors

Honeywell´s SNG-S Series Speed Sensors use a magnetically biased Hall-effect integrated circuit (IC) to accurately sense movement of ferrous metal targets. The specially designed IC and a permanent magnet are sealed in rugged, probe-type packages.

 

The IC detects the alteration of the magnet´s flux density when it is approached by ferrous metal. A sensor positioned at the circumference of a revolving gear wheel detects the teeth and spaces, and supplies a digital pulse output with frequency proportional to gear wheel speed.

 

Optimum performance is dependent upon a combination of variables such as target material, geometry and speed, sensor/target gap, and environmental temperature
