Speed Sensors

Speed sensors come in a wide variety of variants including, hall effect, RF, optical, inductive, intrinsically safer and variable reluctance amongst others.

The primary function of speed sensors includes monitoring the speed of a cam shaft or wheels of a vehicle, to a conveyor belt within a processing installation.  An active speed sensor (magneto resistive) is typically a magnet and hall effect sensor that provides a digital output to a control system with no signal conditioning required. Passive speed sensors (variable reluctance) produce an analogue voltage output when a target rotates past its sensory face, requiring a dedicated electrical interface to process the output into a viable digital signal.

Kempston Controls stocks a select range of speed sensors from market leading brands such as Honeywell designed to suit whatever your speed sensor requirements are. Give our dedicated sales team a call on +44 (0) 1933 411411 or use the contact form above to discuss your speed sensor requirements.
