Rotation speed signal detector

A rotation speed signal detector comprising:

• a cylindrical rotor magnet having an array of n magnetic poles magnetized on one circumferential surface of said cylinder along the peripheral direction and an array of m (m>n) magnetic poles magnetized on the other circumferential surface of said cylinder along the peripheral direction;
• a stator fixed opposite to said array of n magnetic poles of said rotor magnet and having a stator winding for giving a rotational force to said rotor magnet;
• a detection coil provided with first and second sets of coil conductors mounted on first and second sides of a flexible insulating sheet, said coil conductors having winding elements at angular positions corresponding to magnetic pole pitches of m poles of said rotor magnet and being connected as a wave winding, the electric phase difference between said first and second sets of coil conductors being equal to .pi.;
• a supporting member for supporting said detection coil in a ring form, said detection coil being positioned around said array of m poles of said rotor magnet with the peripheral surface thereof opposite said array of m poles of said rotor magnet with a prescribed gap therebetween;
• a terminal base having a main body and a pair of spaced apart contact plates;
• a winding-conductor processing substrate attached to said stator, said substrate having an output circuit for producing a rotational speed signal;
• and
• terminal pin means including first and second pairs of terminal pins embedded in the main body of said terminal base, one end of each of the coil conductors of said detection coil comprising said first and second sets of coil conductors being connected to respective terminal pins of said first pair of terminal pin means in the form of the letter S, and the other ends of said coil conductors being connected to respective terminal pins of said second pair of terminal pin means in the form of an inverted letter S, the ends of said detection coil being passed between the spaced apart contact plates of said terminal base, and the respective terminal pins of said second pair of terminal pins being electrically connected to each other.
