German Genge & Thoma AG sensors, Genge & Thoma AG models, Genge & Thoma AG prices

Genge & Thoma AG sensors are devices capable of detecting the proximity of objects. They utilize the sensitivity of displacement sensors to nearby objects to identify approach and output corresponding switching signals; therefore, proximity sensors are often referred to as proximity switches. This is a general term for sensors designed to replace contact-based detection methods such as switches, with the aim of non-contact detection of the target object. They can detect movement and presence information of the object and convert it into electrical signals.

Genge & Thoma AG sensor classification

1) Laser speed measurement: With the rise of modern precision manufacturing and the demand for cost savings, non-contact speed sensors are gradually replacing contact speed sensors. Currently, the most accurate and commonly used non-contact laser speed sensor on the market is the ZLS-Px aberration speed sensor. The aberration speed sensor has two ports: one emission port that emits a LED light source, and one high-speed photography port that achieves CCD area high-speed imaging comparison. By comparing images at two points in time within an extremely short period, the distance moved by the measured object is determined, and combined with internal algorithms, the sensor outputs the object's speed in real time. As shown in the figure, (1) LED light emission port, (2) camera reception port, (3), (4) terminal blocks, (5) mounting screw holes. (1) The LED light emission port emits laser light toward the measured object, which reflects to the (2) camera reception port. Upon receiving the signal, it is transmitted to the signal processor, which calculates the speed via algorithms. The ZLS-Px aberration speed sensor can simultaneously measure speed and length in two directions. It not only detects whether the measured body has stopped but also detects its direction of motion. Mount the sensor on a stable bracket to ensure that the rotation of the object does not generate excessive vibration, thereby allowing measurement of the rotation angle and rotational speed of the rotating body. 2) Radar speed measurement: Traditional speed measurement mostly involves rotary motion speed measurement and linear motion speed measurement. However, there are many irregular speed measurement scenarios in industrial automation, such as athlete speed measurement, traffic vehicle speed measurement, and golf ball speed measurement. Radar speed sensors can meet these requirements.

Genge & Thoma AG sensor principle

Transmissive speed sensors consist of a disk with holes or notches, a light source, and a phototube. When the disk rotates with the measured shaft, light can only reach the phototube through the holes or notches. When the phototube is illuminated, its reverse resistance is very low, outputting an electrical pulse signal. When the light source is blocked by the disk, the reverse resistance of the phototube is very high, and no signal is output. Thus, the rotational speed of the measured shaft can be determined based on the number of holes or notches on the disk. The usual number of disk holes or notches is unclear in the source, so the photoelectric converter outputs 60 pulse signals per revolution of the measured shaft. If the time base signal of the electronic counter is set to 1s, the rotational speed of the measured shaft can be read directly. The principle of reflective speed sensors is similar to that of transmissive sensors, converting changes in sensed light into electrical signal changes via a phototube, but they obtain pulse signals through light reflection. Typically, reflective material is adhered to the measurement area of the measured shaft to form a reflective surface. Commonly used reflective materials include specialized speed measurement reflective paper tape (adhesive tape); aluminum foil or other reflective materials can also be used as substitutes. Sometimes, white paint can be applied to the measured area to serve as a reflective surface. The projector and reflective surface must be properly configured, typically with a distance of 5-15M between them. When the measured shaft rotates, the photoelectric element receives pulsating light and outputs corresponding electrical signals to the electronic counter, thereby measuring the rotational speed of the shaft. The waveform of the output signal from photoelectric speed sensors is relatively regular, close to a standard square wave, with almost no interference signals generated. However, vibration in transmissive types can reduce the lifespan of the light source, making them unsuitable for conditions with strong vibration. Reflective types have no mechanical connection with the measured shaft and are convenient to use.

Genge & Thoma AG sensor industry applications

1) Modern vehicles are generally equipped with engine control, autonomous driving, ABS, TRC, automatic door locking, active suspension, guidance systems, electronic instruments, and other devices, All these devices require the vehicle speed signal. Therefore, The accuracy and stability of the output signal from the sensor measuring vehicle running speed will have a significant impact on these control units. Automotive speed sensors mostly adopt a Hall-effect structure, A Hall speed sensor is a magnetoelectric sensor based on the Hall effect, Characterized by high sensitivity to magnetic fields, stable output signal, high frequency response, strong anti-electromagnetic interference capability, simple structure, and ease of use. It mainly consists of permanent magnets with a specific number of pole pairs (generally 4 or 8 pairs), Hall elements, a rotating mechanism, and input/output connectors. Its working principle is that when the sensor's rotating mechanism rotates under external drive, it drives the permanent magnet to rotate, causing the magnetic field passing through the Hall element to change periodically, which causes the output voltage of the Hall element to change, forming a stable pulse voltage signal through subsequent circuit processing, serving as the output signal of the vehicle speed sensor. The main electrical technical parameters of Hall-structure speed sensors include: high-level output voltage, low-level output voltage, duty cycle, period, rise time, fall time, number of pulses per period, etc. To ensure product performance reliability, these parameters must be quantitatively tested before leaving the factory. Test systems featuring integration and intelligence, efficient automatic measurement, software calculation, and graphical or tabular display of test results are increasingly favored by automotive speed sensor manufacturers. It is a comprehensive testing device developed for performance measurement of commonly used Hall-effect vehicle speed sensors. Considering cost, the high-speed counter port of a microprocessor is used for data acquisition from the vehicle speed sensor, and software control is used to implement calculation and graphical display processing of the acquired data. The completed testing device offers advantages such as high testing precision, reliable data communication, a user-friendly graphical interface, strong anti-interference capability, a simple and intuitive testing process, and low system development cost, and has good market promotion potential, Therefore, speed sensors have significant application prospects in vehicle speed detection. 2) The speed sensor of the belt conveyor adopts a Hall sensor, which is primarily a sensor that utilizes the Hall effect to achieve magneto-electric conversion, The Hall effect has a development history of more than 100 years since it was discovered in 1879, but its application began in the 50s of this century, Due to the rapid development of microelectronics, it has gained attention and widespread adoption, and various types of Hall elements have been continuously developed. China began to increase research on Hall elements in the 70s of the 20th century, After nearly several decades of research and development, it is now possible to produce Hall elements with various performance characteristics, such as: standard type, high sensitivity type, low temperature coefficient type, temperature and magnetic measurement type, and switch-type Hall elements. Due to the characteristics of Hall sensors, such as high sensitivity, good linearity, high stability, small size, and high temperature resistance, they have been widely applied in various industrial fields, including non-electrical quantity measurement, automatic control, computer devices, and modern military technology.
