Passive Magnetic Sensors

Control and protection circuits have relied on variable reluctance technology for years. With few
components and no moving parts, the passive magnetic speed sensors can provide a signal from
the inside of an aircraft engine at temperatures approaching 425°C or from the hub of an automobile
wheel at high shock and vibration. The advantages of these sensors are:
• High reliability
• Simple installation
• Long life due to no moving parts or contacts
• Self powered operation
• Wide variety of shapes and sizes
• Easy alignment
AI-Tek Instruments, Cheshire, CT USA

• Can be designed for almost any environment

Due to their flexibility, you will find Al-Tek variable reluctance sensors in everything from low-cost
consumer products to highly-accurate automotive engine ignition systems to flight-worthy aircraft
engine controls.

It is the customer’s responsibility to determine whether the

product is proper for customer’s use and application.

 Principles of Operation
The internal construction of the typical
Al-Tek variable reluctance sensor is a magnet,
pole piece and coil (See figure 1). A magnetic
field (lines of flux) extends from the magnet,
through the pole piece and coil out into the air
space at the end of the sensor. The return path of
the magnetic field is from the air space to the
other end of the magnet. As a ferrous object ap-
proaches the tip of the pole piece, the magnetic
field increases and then decreases as the object
moves away from the pole piece. The snap or the
rapid change in the magnetic field induces an AC Figure 1 - Internal configuration of typical sensors.
voltage signal in the coil. With an ideal target and
matching sensor, the induced voltage is in the shape of a sine wave.
As can be seen, the generated frequency signal is directly proportional to the number of ferrous
objects passing the pole piece per unit time. The amplitude of the voltage output is proportional to
the speed of the ferrous objects passing the pole piece.
Many applications of Al-Tek magnetic sensors use gears as targets. Typical sensor output wave
forms with various targets are illustrated in Figure 3. Testing sensors with gears rather than other
ferrous discontinuities such as sprockets, keyways, boltheads, etc. is because the output is
predictable and repeatable. See Figure 2 for commonly used gear terminology.
Diametral Pitch = No. of Teeth + 2

The performance of a sensor can be easily AI-Tek Instruments, Cheshire, CT USA

defined when using a gear for a target; it also
allows for estimated performance with alternate
targets. Al-Tek sensors are tested with AGMA
standard gears; the performance curves are
included in this catalog.
Al-Tek Instruments differs from most sensor
manufacturers in the presentation of performance
curves and test parameters. Most existing data is
specified at a surface speed of 1000 in/sec and
0.005 in. air gap; we feel that a 0.030 in. air gap
and 500 in sec. surface speed (1800 RPM motor
with 5 to 6 in. dia. gear) are more realistic

 Magnetic Sensor Selection
The following information is supplied for assistance in selecting the proper sensors for your
particular applications. One of the fundamental questions to be answered is, “Will there be enough
sensor output voltage at the lowest operating speed?”
The sensor output voltage depends on:
• Surface Speed - speed target passes pole piece
• Gap - distance between target and pole piece
• Target Size - geometric relationship of pole piece and target
• Load Impedance - connected to sensor
The surface speed of a gear depends upon its diameter and RPM. Surface speed is expressed in
terms of inches per second (IPS).
Surface Speed (IPS) = RPM x Outside Dia. (in.) x π
60
There is an optimum pitch (or tooth size) to
obtain the highest possible output from a sensor,
but this is seldom necessary. Figure 4 illustrates
the relationship of tooth size and spacing for
optimum magnetic sensor output. Using a fine
tooth gear, relative to a large pole piece diameter
sensor, results in a lower generated voltage
because the flux also passes into adjacent teeth,
resulting in a lower total flux variation.

The load impedance, with relation to the internal impedance of the sensor, dictates the amount
of sensor output voltage that will be seen by that load. Magnetic sensors are designed with the
lowest practical impedance consistent with providing maximum output. The load impedance should
be high in relation to the impedance of the sensor to minimize the voltage drop across the coil and
to deliver the maximum output to the load.
Most of the output voltages listed in this catalog are based on a load impedance of 100k ohms.
To use a generality, the load impedance should be 10 times that of the sensor.
In order to assist you in selecting your sensor, Al-Tek Instruments has developed an output vs.
speed curve for each sensor family. By looking at the application extremes of highest speed/lowest
gap and lowest speed/highest gap, the full variation of sensor output can easily be determined. We
also specify each family in two ways: Standard - minimum output voltage at 1000 IPS, 0.005 in.
gap. Guarantee Point - minimum output voltage at 500 IPS, 0.030 in. gap. Sensors with .187” dia.
pole piece are tested with an 8 D.P. gear, 100k ohms load; .106” dia. & smaller pole piece sensors
are tested with a 20 D.P. gear, 100k ohms load. Sensors with connectors also use a 250 pf capaci-
tor shunted across the load.

 Calculation of Output Voltage
Selection of the proper Al-Tek magnetic sensor may require the calculation of sensor output volt-
age to assure proper operation in your specific application. To assist in this area, let us consider the
following typical application: Requirement is speed display with overspeed and underspeed control as
well as 4-20 mA signal to a PLC. Speed range is 0-3600 RPM with low speed set point at 300 RPM,
available shaft diameter for mounting a gear is 2.000 in. and a .030 in. air gap is ideal.
You have selected a Tachtrol 30, P/N T77630-10, with a 60T steel, split gear, P/N G79870-202-1901, and
you are considering to use sensor P/N 70085-1010-001. The question is if the sensor has enough
output voltage at 300 RPM.
We can list the following parameters:
a. Tachtrol 30: Load impedance - 12k-ohms
Sensitivity - 200 mV peak
b. Split gear: Outside dia. - 5.166 in.
D.P. - 12
No. of Teeth - 60
c. Sensor:
Standard output voltage - 40V (P-P) min.
Guarantee Point - 3.4V P-P min.
D.C. Resistance - 130 ohms max.
Typical inductance - 33 mH ref.

Step 1: Calculate surface speed of gear:

SS = RPM x Outside Dia. x π = 300 x 5.166 x 3.14 SS = 81 IPS
60 60
Step 2: Determine Peak-to-Peak output voltage:
Referring to the performance curves of sensor P/N 70085-1010-001 the min. output voltage
is approx.0.3 V (P-P) at 81 IPS and 0.030 in. gap. It is a fact that output voltage vs. surface
speed is a near linear function; therefore, another method of determining output voltage is
to set up a ratio using the guarantee point:
3.4V (P-P) = E E = .55V (P-P)
500 IPS 81
Step 3: Correction for pitch:
For a 0.106 in. pole piece dia. and a 12 D.P. gear the correction factor from Table A is 1 .41.
(See pg. 5)
Ec= .55 x 1.41 = .78 V (P-P)
Step 4: Converting to peak voltage: Simply divide by 2. Ec = .78 ÷ 2 = .39V peak.
Step 5: Correction for load:
The .39V or 390mV sensor output voltage will be divided across the impedance of the load
and sensor. The load impedance is 12000 ohms resistive. The impedance of the sensor has
a resistive and inductive element. At low frequencies the inductive element is very small and

AI-Tek Instruments, Cheshire, CT USA

can therefore be disregarded, leaving the max. DC resistance of 130 ohms for consideration.
The load correction factor (fL ) can be expressed as:
(fL ) = Z (load) = 12000 = .99
Z (load) + Z (sensor) 12130
Ec = .99 x 390 = 386 mV peak
The final adjusted value is 386 mV peak
As stated earlier, the sensitivity or threshold of the Tachtrol 30 is 200mV peak at the stated
conditions, the selection of P/N 70085-1010-001 is acceptable.
By setting up ratios, you can determine that the minimum sensed speed is 155 RPM.
If the final value of Ec had been slightly less than 200 mV, a reduction of the air gap (from .030”
to .025”) would boost the output above 200 mV.
If it should be determined that the required sensor cannot be selected from the catalog models,
the best procedure is to compile a list of all your requirements and contact your area distributor to
assist you in the selection of the correct sensor.

 Hall Effect Sensors

AI-Tek has taken its years of experience of designing and manufacturing Hall Effect
sensors for engine timing applications and has developed a line of durable products for
industrial use.
With multiple standard variations we offer the widest range of standard catalog
sensors to meet your various design needs. The design is flexible to easily meet all
of your application requirements.
The Hall Effect sensor can sense each change in target movement, regardless of speed,
from near zero to 15 kHz frequency range, generating a steady pulse train of frequency
proportional to target speed. Typically, each time a gear tooth (or any ferrous discontinuity)
passes in front of the sensor the output changes state. This type of sensor is known as a "P"
type because it uses N-P-N transistor logic (as opposed to "N" type, which uses P-N-P
transistor logic).

Key features to note are:

• Reverse voltage protection, up to -30 Vdc, to prevent damage if miswired
• Higher temperature range of -40°C to +125°C
• Wide range of supply voltage in single design of 4.5 - 24 Vdc
• Two output options of Supply Tracking or TTL Compatible
• Rugged design meeting IEC 77 Standards (European Railroad Applications)

Suitable for 24 diametral pitch or coarser gear (target), the standard catalog
sensors are easily applied to your various sensing needs. If you have a unique, special
requirement which cannot be met with any of the standard options, we will gladly review your
specs and work with you on a special sensor design.

Our newest "RH" series sensors:

• No longer require special alignment
• Have improved duty cycle
• Have improved fine pitch performance
• Have increased air gaps
AI-Tek Instruments, Cheshire, CT USA

Refer to office when distance between sensor and tachometer is greater

than 500 feet (150 meters).

It is the customer's responsibility to determine whether the product is

proper for customer's use and application.

 Bi-Directional, Dual Channel, Hall Effect Speed Sensors

AI-Tek Bi-directional, zero velocity sensors are self-calibrating to the specific customer
application and provide two independent frequency outputs and a direction signal output to
indicate change in direction of the sensed, ferrous target.

The Bi-directional sensor can also be referred to as a dual channel sensor since it utilizes two
Hall effect sensing elements, physically offset from each other. Each element generates a single
channel of target information, identical in frequency and polarity, but offset in the time domain
(phase shifted). Special circuits inside the sensor are designed to calibrate each channel to its
application target, then analyze these two channels of information for a phase lead / lag
condition. The direction output will then provide a logic 1 level for clockwise or a logic 0 for
counterclockwise rotation, assuming proper sensor orientation.

 Split Gears
When using an AI-Tek speed sensor in RPM mea-
surement, split gears provide a convenient and simple
means of installation where shaft disassembly is not
feasible. The two halves of the gear are fastened with
clamping screws, thus assuring close fit. All split
gears are 12 diametral pitch, 14.5° pressure angle.

Solid Gear
AI-Tek also offers a 20 diametral pitch, 14.5° pressure
angle, solid steel gear. This gear can be rebored to fit
shaft diameters up to 1.375". It is secured to the shaft
with 2 set screws.

Note: Gears are supplied with minimum

bores as shown. Alternate bores within
the minimum and maximum limits are
available at additional cost.
Caution: Gears may shatter if not
installed to specifications or if operated
above maximum RPM.

 Sensor Mounting Brackets
Several types of brackets are available to facilitate
the mounting of AI-Tek speed sensors. Threaded
brackets for 3/8-24, 5/8-18 and 3/4-20 threads are
generally used with passive sensors with one locknut.
Active, zero- velocity sensors and passive, chisel-point
sensors that require specific alignment should be used
with unthreaded brackets and two locknuts.
Bracket material is non-magnetic, 303 stainless
steel; locknuts are also non-magnetic stainless steel or
plated brass.
Sensors and brackets should be attached to a
frame free of excessive vibration to prevent spurious
indications when the gear is stopped or turning at very
slow speeds. Refer to sensor specifications for proper
air gap and alignment with gear (target) rotation.

Caution: Too small an air gap, especially with excessive run-out, may cause the gear to
strike the sensor and make it inoperative.
