Selection Guide
Use the following criteria to select the correct speed sensor for your application:
- Signal Type: Confirm whether your controller requires magnetic pickup (passive) or active digital output (powered)
- Supply Voltage: Match sensor operating voltage to your control panel’s I/O card specifications
- Mounting Thread: Verify thread size (M18, M12, or custom) and installation depth
- Air Gap: Confirm recommended gap distance between sensor tip and gear tooth
- Frequency Range: Ensure sensor bandwidth covers your maximum shaft RPM × gear tooth count
- Environment: Select IP rating and temperature range appropriate for your installation zone
- Certification: For hazardous areas (ATEX/IECEx), confirm the sensor’s explosion-proof rating
