Magnetic Gear Tooth Speed and Direction Sensor  RFP Series

Direction determination with one unit

Constructed from hall elements, a magnet, and a signal processing circuit.
It converts the difference of magnetism into the electric signal, and outputs the logic pulses.

[Product Introduction Video] Japanese only
Detects both
forward and reverse
Reduce drilling during installation, installation time and costs, etc.
conventional product
2 sensors are required for
both forward and reverse detection.
RFP16
1 sensor detects both
forward and reverse.
Supports m1, 1.5, 2
Design flexibility is high and management cost can be reduced.

Detection from 0Hz
Confirmation of fine movements at the moment of starting and stopping.

-40℃ to +140℃
Operating tempereture for RFP16A with supply voltage 7-15V DC.

[15-25V DC]-40°C to +126°C  [RFP16D]-20°C to +80°C.

IP67: Leak-free head Metal case with integrated tip and body / Conical PressTM cable withdrawal technology.

Includes Setting card Check the different mounting angles for each gear module with a single card.
Align the direction of the arrow on the card
with the forward direction of the gear and
check the mounting angle.
G: Forward direction of gear

Extension of the sensor cable is susceptible to external noise. Since the influence varies depending on the conditions,
we recommend you to check in your usage environment.
