Abstract
A system for determining the number of revolutions of a cardan shaft, having at least a magnet and at least a hall sensor is positioned to provide magnetic interaction between them, characterized by connecting one of the magnet and hall sensor onto either the rotating elements of the cardan shaft and the other to a fixed point and including a detection element for detecting the revolution rate by correlating to the revolution and the pulse created by the hall sensor as a result of interaction between the magnet and the hall sensor, when the cardan shaft rotates.
Claims1
A method for determining a number of revolutions of a cardan shaft, the method comprising:
- providing at least one magnet and at least one Hall sensor;
- connecting one of the at least one magnet and the at least one Hall sensor onto a rotating element of the cardan shaft;
- connecting another of the at least one magnet and the at least one Hall sensor to a fixed point such that the at least one magnet and the at least one Hall sensor are magnetically interactive with each other;
- determining a number of pulses created by the at least one Hall sensor relative to a rotation of the cardan shaft;
- and
- determining a number of revolutions by correlating the number of pulses with the number of revolutions.
