The
Motion Sensors, Inc. (MSI) HN
series of speed sensors is based on Hall
Effect sensor technology, which can
sense a change in target motion from
true zero to 20 KHz.
These sensors
incorporate a magnet within the sensor,
enabling them to sense ferrous metal as
well as magnetic targets. Maximum air gap
sensing distances are typically 0.100".
MSI Hall Effect Sensors are optimized
to provide extremely accurate tooth edge detection when
used with larger pitch targets, and offer the unique
advantage of not requiring orientation to the target. HN
speed sensors integrate a preamplifier/signal
conditioner within the sensor housing that provides
excellent noise immunity and greater transmission
capability. They also have a unique circuit design that
offers complete protection in the event of connection
mis-wiring, not only reverse polarity. The output
frequency of these sensors has a square pulse waveform
(digital) that directly relates to the number of turbine
blades, gear teeth, etc. that have been sensed. These
pulses, in turn, can be correlated to determine flow
rate, RPM, or velocity.
Product
Specifications
In
addition to the models specified, MSI can make
Custom
Hall Effect Sensors in
other lengths, diameters, configurations, mounting
threads (e.g., metric) as well as with different
operating specifications and options like pigtail leads,
NPT threads for explosion proof applications, etc. to
satisfy special requirements. In addition, for lower
cost, high volume applications, MSI manufactures Hall
Effect sensors that contain only the Hall Effect
element, without special circuitry to guard against
incorrect hook-up. These sensors are available with an
open collector output and contain reverse polarity
protection. If you do not see a sensor that meets your
needs, please contact us and we would be happy to make a
product that meets your specifications.
