The gear tooth hall effect speed sensor can detect the presence of a ferrous metal target.
It can be used with a wide variety of gears or target shapes and sizes. The use of hall effect technology means that
the sensor has the ability to sense zero speed. The gear tooth hall effect speed sensor is versatile enough to
provide sensing of cam shaft and transmission speeds and engine rpm. It can also be fitted to tractors, electric
vehicles, exercise equipment and other items such as industrial process control machines.

There are several different technologies that can be used to create a gear tooth hall effect speed
sensor.
Oriented Hall Effect Speed Sensor: Incorporates a magnet within the speed sensor. Sensors
can be optimized to detect fine as well as large pitch targets. These sensors must be oriented to target rotation,
which does add additional installation considerations.
Oriented Hall Effect Speed Sensor Specifications
Non-Oriented Hall Effect Speed Sensor: These sensors are similiar to oriented versions, but
are optimized to provide extremely accurate tooth edge detection when used with larger pitch targets. A non-oriented
gear tooth hall effect speed sensors offers the unique advantage of not requiring orientation to the target.
Non-Oriented Hall Effect Speed Sensor Specifications
Hall Effect Speed Sensors for Magnetic Targets: Require that the target be a magnet, such
as magnets embedded in gear teeth, blade tips, or ring magnets. The advantage of this series, versus other Hall
Effect types, is that they can sense longer air gap distances. There are a number of different types of these
devices, each optimized to sense a different type of magent, including Bipolar Switch, Latch, Omnipolar Switch, and
Unipolar Switch.
Magnetic Target Hall Effect Sensor Specifications
Hall effect speed sensors can also be found in dual channel quadrature output versions and
intrinsically safe (ATEX and CSA certified) models.
