The MP-981 is a magneto-type detector using an internal magneto resistive element, a permanent magnet, DC amplifier, and voltage regulator and responding to flux (i.e., the resistance value changes in response to flux changes), so that a rectangle waveform is output from ultra low speed to high speed (1 to 20,000 r/min (60 P/R)).

There are 3 types of detectors:

As for the MP-981, the signal cable, extension cable, and connectors are sold separately.
As for the AP-981, the signal cable is directly output cable of 1.9 m length.

Features

  • Detectable from ultra low speed (almost 0 r/min)
  • Safe detection as non-contact detection
  • Compact, lightweight and easy to install
  • Compact, lightweight and easy to install Water & acid proof (AP-981)

Relationship between detection distance and gear modules

 

Relationship between detection distance and gear modules

The detection distance depends on the modules of detective gear, with longer distances being possible with larger modules. Also detection distance depends on temperature. In cases where the ambient temperature varies greatly, it should be mounted with minimum of detection distance. The detectable range shown in the right figure assumes an output waveform duty cycle of 50 % ±20 %.
