Non-Contact Speed Sensing For
A Wide Variety of Applications

Simple The sensor measures relative motion - point it at what you want to measure. Either the sensor or the target may be moving - or both simultaneously. The sensor may be used to measure the speed of a surface such as the ground.
Accurate Non-contact sensing means that the sensor measures only the true relative motion of the target. For vehicle ground speeds, wheel slip is no longer an issue. For conveyor belts, the actual speed of product can be measured. For amusement park rides, the support structure can act as a target.
Wide Speed Range The sensor measures speeds from 0.5 to 300 MPH (0.8 to 480 KPH).
Fast Response With an update period of 1/100th of a second and a small time constant, the sensor is capable of tracking objects accelerating at several g's.
Small & Portable The sensor requires only a small DC power source (10.5 - 16.5 VDC, 2.4 W). The small size of the sensor means that it can be mounted virtually anywhere.
Versatile Interface The output of the sensor is a pulse with frequency proportional to measured speed. The sensor can interface directly with many different types of off-the-shelf hardware, such as digital tachometers, or can be integrated into electronic control or data acquisition systems. The sensor is fully compatible with the Data BRICK data acquisition system.
Real-Time Display Combine the non-contact speed sensor with the SRO100 Programmable Digital Speed Indicator for a turnkey speed measurement and display system.
