584XX Series
Digital Magnetic Speed Sensors
DESCRIPTION
Honeywell’s 584XX Series Digital Magnetic Speed Sensors
combine active electronics with features of Variable
Reluctance Sensors in a single package. The 584XX Series
produce constant amplitude output signals suitable for direct
use in many digital and logic control applications.
Because the digital signal conditioning is done internally,
interface circuitry is no longer required. This circuit changes
the waveform generated by the sensor coil into a digital
square-wave output.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS
Industrial:
•
•
Senses moving ferrous metal
Output signal of integrated circuit allows for direct use in
digital equipment
Minimizes the need for interface circuitry, reducing
installation and maintenance costs
Enhanced stability due to precisely-matched components
Extremely precise relationship between the physical
position of any sensed object and the electrical signal
produced provides improved accuracy to timing and
positioning applications

Enhanced sensitivity with the capability to produce full
output of +5 to 30 V at speeds as low as 3 in per second
at gaps of .050 in, or 1 in per second at gaps of .005 in.
Constant output amplitude independent of speed, and air
gap (within sensing range), allows for full output at almost
zero speeds.
Excellent resistance to water, oil, shock and vibration
damage extend product life and operating reliability
Wide variety of supply voltages allow application flexibility
Allows for the reduction in noise, often vital in potential
positioning and synchronization applications
Pre-leaded or connector versions allow application
flexibility
Transportation:
•
•
•
Engine, motor, or pump RPM sensing
Over/under speed sensing
Wheel speed detection
•
•
•
•
Standard thread sizes improve compatibility and
interchangeability with other standard types of speed
sensors
