DEUTA Pickups

The pickup sensors are distinguished by an extremely long service life thanks to their contactless and thus almost wear-free mode of operation. The measurement is taken by scanning a toothed wheel or magnetic wheel. The pickup sensor is mounted at a defined distance above the wheel.

The pickup sensors use the Hall effect to determine the rotational speed. The direction of rotation can also be determined. This is done by arranging two Hall elements within the sensor in a relative geometrical position to one other that allows the determination of both speed and rotational direction. The output levels of the two signals, which can also be supplied in a galvanically separated form, are processed to suit a wide range of supply voltages.
