Rotation speed sensors are used to monitor, regulate and control mechanical drive systemsand play an important role when it comes to protecting rotating system components (e.g. motor, drive) against mechanical overloads.
Micro-Epsilon offers two sensor systems for measuring rotational speed. _blank"> capaNCDT CST6110 is a universal RPM sensor for job counting and RPM applications of any type.
What's more, turboSPEED DZ140 measurement system< /a> is specifically designed to detect turbocharger speeds.
Properties
- Precise measurement of rotational speed in industrial conditions
- 1… 400,000 rpm
- Material-independent measurements
- High noise immunity, reliability and accuracy
- Easy integration thanks to the compact size of the sensor
- A special system for measuring the rotational speed of turbochargers
How do contactless RPM sensors work?
Micro-Epsilon's non-contact RPM sensors use two different techniques to measure RPM.
CST6110 rotational-speed sensor based on the capacitive measurement principle, while the inductive measurement principle is used to measure " target="_blank">turbocharger speed using DZ140.
Both measuring techniques impress with their high signal stability and immunity to interference.
Unlike optical measuring procedures, Micro-Epsilon rotational speed sensors are insensitive to dust and dirt.
Universal rotational speed measurement
capaNCDT CST6110 capacitive rotational-speed sensor is designed for industrial counting tasks and speed applications.
Regardless of the material, the sensor detects blades, gears, protrusions and similar objects with the highest precision.
The measuring range is from 1 to 400,000 rpm. The rotary output is performed from the first detection, which means that no system start-up is required.
The rugged IP67 controller and compact design of the sensor make the rotation speed sensor ideal for installation in confined spaces.
Turbocharger speed sensors
Inductive turboSPEED DZ140 sensor system has been specially designed for measuring the rotational speed in the engine and turbocharger compartments.
The controller is integrated in a miniature housing with IP65 protection, designed for operation at temperatures up to 115 °C. The sensor is heat resistant up to 285 °C.
As a result, this robust, miniature measuring system can be easily installed in the engine compartment.
The inductive measuring principle of the DZ140 provides excellent interference immunity for increased EMC requirements as well as in test chambers and road tests, while ensuring precise measurement results from 200 rpm to 400,000 rpm.
