Non-contacting multi-channel stainless-steel speed sensor, Hall principle or eddy current principle

FA52

Speed sensor FAW52

  • Due to its design and type approval according to DIN EN 50155 especially suitable for transport technology
  • Eddy current version: Scanning of all electrically conductive materials (steel or aluminium)
  • With voltage or current output signal
  • With up to 4 galvanically isolated sensors in one enclosure
  • Robust and high quality housing: IP69 pressure-tight and individually tested at 5 bar (for details see technical data)
  • Excellent vibration and shock resistance and double protection of the sensor head

  • Detection of very low speed (near zero speed)

Description

Speed sensors of type FA52 are non-contacting multi-channel speed encoders with a stainless-steel flange and sensor tube. They measure frequency in accordance with the eddy-current or difference-hall-effect principle. They acquire the speed of ferromagnetic (FAH type) or electrically conductive (FAW type) gearwheels, e. g. gearwheels with various tooth shapes, screw heads, drill holes, apertures, grooves or pulse bands on smooth shafts (accessories). Their compact and robust design, as well as the relevant tests as per DIN EN 50155, make them ideal for applications in the field of transport technology, e. g. measuring speed at the traction motor, gearbox or wheelset. The sensors are available with various output signals.

Except otherwise specified, the sensors in the next table have voltage signal outputs.
