Cherry modular speed sensors for industrial applications

The CHERRY modular design provides designers with a range of standard elements and interfaces from which a custom sensor can be configured to their exact requirements. The modular system uses differential hall-chip sensor devices with a standard and fully integrated magnetic circuit. The results are high-quality engineered sensor products with a simple design that deliver a cost-effective, very high-performance device which can sense up to 20,000 rpm.

Electrical connection to the sensors is possible via 2-wire, 3-wire, or 4-wire interfaces. The components can be connected via output leads or a plug-in connector. The cylindrical housing is available with diameters starting from 13mm and with a length from 20mm up to 80mm. The mounting flange with screw offers a high degree of flexibility in regards of position, angle and alignment of the sensor.

The speed sensors have an operating temperature range from -40degC up to +150degC and the housing meets at least IP67 specifications. The sensors will operate from a DC supply in the range of 4.5 to 24V and are protected against overvoltage and reverse voltage connection.

Depending on the target object, the sensors are designed as differential-hall-solution for delicate gear-tooth structures. Full information on specific application requirements will be supported by Cherry upon request.
