Baumer Magnetic Pickup

Magnetic Sensor

MHRM sesnors employ a magnetically based semiconductor hall element to sense moving ferromagnetic objects. They are preferably used to scan toothed racks as well as gear wheels in gear boxes. The housing made of Stainless Steel protects the electronics against external influences. These sensors are mainly used as tachometer generators where there is a general aggressive environment of oil, dust or vibration.

Magnetic Pick-Ups

Miniature magnetic 'pick-up' transducers suitable for use in a wide range of sensing applications. Each device responds to movement of ferrous parts past the pole on the end of the unit. Used extensively in areas such as speed regulation of motors, when sensing for example, the teeth on a gear wheel. However, magnetic pick-ups may be used to implement feedback and control functions in many fields. Automotive applications include crank angle sensing, ignition timing, anti-skid systems and diagnostics. Applications in the computer peripherals area encompass disc drives, line printers, card punches/readers and printer terminals. The diagrams indicate the two basic modes of using these components. Note especially their small size in relation to their high signal output, enabling their deployment where many conventional sensors cannot be fitted. Fully encapsulated construction for reliable operation, but not intended for immersion in liquids.
