Detect Target Slowdown or Stoppage with SpeedSense

The newly released SpeedSense sensor from Eaton's electrical business is one of the first tubular inductive sensors to feature built-in speed detection technology. This functionality allows the sensor to detect when the target RPM falls under a specified limit.

SpeedSense is not just limited to rotating applications. By measuring the time between two detections, the sensor can fit in a wide variety of applications. When the time between two target detections exceed the rated millisecond limit, the sensor will activate.

Such a solution once required a sensor, PLC and programmed logic. Now, SpeedSense can do it all. There is no need for costly engineering and installation time. SpeedSense is a quick, drop-in solution available with different fixed speed limits, called activation points. Consolidate your controls and reduce engineering time with SpeedSense, available in 12, 18 and 30 mm diameter models with either pre-wired cables or micro connectors.
