Frequently Asked Questions about Magneto-Electric Rotation Detector
Question number FAQ-0846
A Φ30 shaft has a Φ30 hole with a depth of 50 mm. Can this be used to detect rotational pulses? (The shaft material is iron-based.)
It is possible, but you will need to adjust the gap while checking the output waveform of the MP-981 with an oscilloscope or similar device. (This will differ from the gap conditions described in the instruction manual.)
The output waveform
Lo (0.5V or less): Near the hole
Hi (approx. 4.5V): Areas other than the holes
We adjust the gap so that it becomes like this.
However, the magnetic circuit of the MP-981 may be affected by its surroundings, such as its proximity to a wall, and the waveform may not necessarily be as described above.
For example, the voltage high level may be temporary (one-shot).
