PR 9376/.. Series
Speed Sensor
Applications:
The PR 9376 speed sensor is
ideally suitable for contact less
speed measurements at ferromag-
netic machine components. Rugged
construction, simple installation and
excellent switching characteristics
permit the use within a wide appli-
cation field in industry und labora-
tory.
Together with speed measuring

Function principle and design:

The head of the PR 9376 is a
differential sensor consisting of a
half bridge with two hall-effect sen-
sor elements. By means of inte-
grated operational amplifiers, the
Hall-voltage is amplified many times
over. Processing of the Hall-voltage
is carried out digitally in a DSP. In
this DSP the difference of the Hall-
voltage is determined and com-
pared with a reference value. The
result of this comparison is available
at a push-pull output which is short-
circuiting proof for a short time
(max. 20 s).
