Variable reluctance speed sensors suit wide range of demanding applications

RS Components now stocks Honeywell's variable reluctance speed sensors. The VRS sensors suit high-output, general-purpose, power output, high-resolution, high-temperature and hazardous location applications. The simple, rugged devices do not require an external voltage source for operation. The High-output VRS sensors are designed for use in applications where higher output voltages are needed in applications of low to medium speeds with medium to high impedance loads. General-purpose VRS sensors are designed for use in applications with medium to high speeds or in electrically noisy environments with relatively small air gaps. Passive front-end sealed versions are available for use where the sensor is exposed to fluids, lubricants or adverse environmental conditions.
