Motion Sensors modulated carrier (RF) sensors require coupling with our PA1001A or PA2001series preamplifiers or other modulated carrier amplifiers.

When used with the PA1001A or PA2001 preamplifiers, they offer square wave (digital) output, low speed response, no drag, and large air gaps. They also have the ability to sense non-ferrous metals like aluminum and stainless steel, in addition to ferrous metals. RF sensors are becoming increasingly popular in applications such as turbine flow metering where it is important to sense small, free spinning devices without inducing drag on the movement of the rotor.

Product Specifications

In addition to the models specified, we can make custom RF sensors in other lengths, diameters, configurations, mounting threads (e.g., metric) as well as with different operating specifications and options like pigtail leads, NPT threads for explosion proof applications, etc. to satisfy special requirements. The products below are only a sampling of our product line; if you do not see a sensor that meets your needs, please contact us and we would be happy to manufacture a product to your specifications.

Motion Sensors High Temperature RF (modulated carrier) sensors are built to operate in temperature ranges beyond that of our Standard RF sensors. These sensors operate in a broad temperature range of -100°F to +750°F (-74°C to +400°C). High Temperature RF sensors come with either a standard two (2) pin connector or a three (3) foot stainless steel shielded cable to allow interconnection without the need for expensive mating connectors. The explosion proof version features NPT threading and lead-wires shielded with glass tubing potted with special high temperature cement.

Active, or amplified sensors with digital output offer a low-cost solution for interfacing directly to data acquisition systems. These sensors integrate a preamplifier/signal conditioner within the sensor housing and offer the advantages of excellent noise immunity and greater transmission capability.

Input power supply requirements cover the most popular ranges for both commercial and industrial use. The output frequency of these sensors has a square pulse waveform (digital) that directly relates to the number of turbine blades, gear teeth, etc. that have been sensed. These pulses, in turn, can be correlated to determine flow rate, RPM, or velocity.
