Speed sensor
A Hall-effect speed sensor may be fitted as an option. The
sensors operate on the Hall-effect principle which detects
a change in magnetic field flux across an airgap when a
ferromagnetic gear tooth passes the sensor surface. Sen-
sors can then be connected to a controller such as the
Rexroth BODAS controller, in order to give information
about the motor’s speed and direction. Additionally, the

temperature measurement at the sensor location.
