Magnetoelectric Speed Sensor for Diesel Generator Engine Speed Monitoring

The magnetoelectric speed sensor from Fortrust Power is designed for accurate rotational speed detection in diesel generator sets, industrial engines, and other engine-driven equipment. Based on the principle of electromagnetic induction, it detects the rotation of a toothed wheel and converts mechanical movement into electrical signals for engine speed monitoring and control.

The sensor features a permanent magnet and an internal induction coil. As the gear rotates, its teeth periodically pass the sensing surface, changing the magnetic flux and generating an alternating electrical signal. The output frequency corresponds to the rotational speed of the target gear, allowing compatible electronic speed controllers and generator controllers to obtain reliable speed information.

One of its key advantages is its independent dual-winding output design, which helps prevent interference between the speed input signals of the electronic governor and generator set controller. This provides more reliable signal transmission when multiple control devices need to monitor the same engine.

With automotive-grade AMP/Delphi connectors, waterproof and oxidation-resistant construction, and multiple thread sizes and lengths, Fortrust Power magnetoelectric speed sensors provide flexible installation options for different engine configurations. The product is suitable for original equipment integration, maintenance, and replacement applications.

Key Features of Magnetoelectric Speed Sensor

Accurate Engine Speed Detection

The electromagnetic induction principle enables non-contact rotational speed measurement. By detecting changes in magnetic flux as gear teeth pass the sensing surface, the sensor generates a frequency-based output signal proportional to rotational speed.

This provides continuous speed feedback for electronic governors and generator controllers, supporting accurate engine speed regulation and monitoring.

Independent Dual-Winding Signal Output

The independent dual-winding design provides separate output signals for the electronic speed controller and generator set controller. This helps minimize mutual interference between different speed monitoring inputs and improves signal independence.

It is particularly useful in generator applications where multiple control devices need access to engine speed information simultaneously.

Automotive-Grade Electrical Connectors

The sensor adopts automotive-grade AMP/Delphi connectors to provide dependable electrical connections. The connector design offers waterproof and oxidation-resistant characteristics, helping maintain connection reliability under demanding operating conditions.

Durable Performance in Harsh Environments

With an operating temperature range of -40°C to +125°C and an IP65 protection rating, the sensor is suitable for engine environments involving temperature fluctuations, dust, and moisture exposure.

Flexible Installation Options

Different thread sizes and sensor lengths are available to accommodate various engine structures and mounting requirements. This flexibility makes the product suitable for different generator configurations and industrial engine applications.

Technical Specifications

Working Principle of an Electromagnetic Speed Sensor

A magnetoelectric speed sensor operates through electromagnetic induction. Its main components include a permanent magnet, an induction coil, and a sensing surface positioned near a rotating toothed wheel.

When the engine operates, the toothed wheel rotates and periodically changes the air gap between its teeth and the sensor. These changes affect the magnetic flux passing through the internal coil, generating an alternating electromotive force.

According to Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction, the changing magnetic flux produces an electrical signal. The frequency of this signal increases or decreases according to the rotational speed of the target gear.

The resulting signal is transmitted to a compatible electronic speed controller or monitoring instrument, where it can be processed to determine engine speed. This operating principle allows the sensor to measure rotational speed without direct mechanical contact with the rotating component.
