After Sales Training
The injection control unit uses the revs sensor signal to:
determine the rotation speed;
determine the angular position of the drive shaft.
Operation
The sensor is made up of a tubular casing (1) which incorporates a permanent magnet (3) and
an electric winding (2).
The magnetic flux created by the magnet (3) undergoes, due to the passage of the phonic
wheel teeth, oscillations resulting from the gap variation.
These oscillations induce an electromotive force in the winding (2): an alternately positive
(tooth facing the sensor) and negative (slot facing the sensor) voltage is found at the winding
ends.
