There are two primary types of speed sensors: passive and active. Passive speed sensors are designed to detect the presence or absence of ferrous metal targets, such as gear teeth or other rotating components. They operate based on the principles of magnetic induction and can generate an output voltage proportional to the target’s rotational speed. These sensors often come in various sizes, thread types, and output voltages, making them versatile for a wide range of applications.
Active speed sensors, on the other hand, not only detect the presence or absence of ferrous metal targets but also measure their rotation speed. These sensors utilize advanced technologies, such as Hall effect or proximity sensing, to provide high-accuracy measurements. They can be used in numerous industries, including automotive, aerospace, and industrial applications.
