Speed sensors - AI-Tek - #4

Al-Tek Instruments manufactures hundreds of different designs of speed sensors. This catalog lists the standard units we developed, based on years of design experience and knowledge, to provide you readily available products to solve your sensor solution to your speed control or i ndication needs. Many of the hundreds of Al-Tek speed sensors we produce are designed for special applications which allows us to offer a highly versatile and flexible product line.

Designed to meet severe industrial, automotive and aerospace environments, Al-Tek speed sensors, will provide reliable, around-the-clock operation for many years under adverse conditions.

extreme temperatures, wet, oily and corrosive atmospheres. Many of our speed sensors are specifically designed for high temperature, high or low speeds, various targets or for precise accuracy and timing applications. Al-Tek uses primarily the two technologies of variable reluctar and Hall effect to convert motion into an electronic signal. By selecting the best technology for a

specific application we can assure years of reliable performance

This catalog offers a variety of options readily available through our distributors. If you cannot find a catalog item to meet your specific requirements, please contact your area distributor with your specifics; there is probably an existing design which comes close to your requirements. As a world leader in producing quality speed sensors, Al-Tek Instruments will provide a superb price/perfor­mance ratio.

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

| • Can be designed for almost any environment

^ Due to their flexibility, you will find Al-Tek variable reluctance sensors in everything from low-cost
