Active speed/position sensor

Electricfil Hall effect and GMR sensors are of the active type, requiring a supply of electrical power.

They detect the magnetic fi eld created by the passage of gear teeth or the alternating poles of a ring magnet, delivering an electrical signal that the electronic control system processes to determine the speed and/or angular position of the rotating shaft.
Compared to VR sensors, these active sensors are smaller, detect lower speeds and can be used for zero-speed position sensing.
