Rotation sensors are used as:<\/p>

RPM and PMS sensor (rotation and top dead center); identified with the acronym CKP in English;<\/p>

Camshaft position sensor; identified with the acronym CMP in English.\u00a0<\/p>

The rotation sensor is always associated with a toothed disc or alternately magnetized disc. Currently, the most used types are:<\/p>

This sensor consists of a permanent magnet with a pick-up coil over it.<\/p>

Whenever teeth or marks pass by the magnetic sensor, the reluctance of the magnetic circuit decreases; when no teeth or marks pass by the magnetic sensor, the reluctance increases.<\/p>

Thus, when the wheel turns, the magnetic flux changes; This flow variation induces a variable voltage in the pickup coil (in the form of pulses; synchronized with the teeth passing by magnet).<\/p>

At the sensor terminals, it is possible to measure voltage pulses every time a tooth pass by the sensor. The voltage of the pulses depends on the speed of the spinning wheel.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

It consists of a small chip of semiconductor material circulated by a direct current. The electrical resistance of the insert is sensitive to the presence of magnetic field. Thus, varying the magnetic field varies the resistance and with it, the current in the circuit. An electronic circuit inside the sensor converts current variations into voltage variations.<\/p>

The figure shows a Hall effect-based rotation sensor in the configuration used in distributor motors. The magnetic flux reaching the sensor varies due to the presence or absence of a rotor window.<\/p>

In the example, the rotor interposes between the magnet and the sensitive element. When rotating, the switching of tabs and windows causes the magnetic field variation necessary to generate the pulsed signal.<\/p>

Importantly, in the case of the HALL sensor, the voltage generated by the sensor is independent of the rotor or sprocket rotation speed.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

These sensors are made up of a disc of magnetic material, alternately magnetized, with magnets of different polarity.<\/p>

An electronic circuit containing a magnet resistive element is installed over the disk. The sensitive element has the property of modifying its resistance as a function of the intensity of the magnetic field passing through it. When rotating the disc, the magnets cause the magnetic field that reaches the magnet resistive element to vary.<\/p>

As a consequence of this, the resistance of the same also varies. An associated electronic circuit transforms resistance variations into voltage variations, thus generating the pulsed signal.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The location of the rotation sensor depends on the application:<\/p>

Engine speed sensor: Associated with a sprocket, solidarized to the crankshaft or installed in the distributor;<\/p>

Camshaft Position Sensor: Installed on the headstock (headstock control) associated with the forged tooth on the camshaft or installed on a device mechanically connected with the camshaft on motors with control on the block;<\/p>

Vehicle Speed \u200b\u200bSensor: Associated with a sprocket installed at the transmission output or driven by the speedometer flex;<\/p>

Wheel Speed \u200b\u200bSensor (ABS): Installed on the wheel hub, associated with a sprocket; on some rear-wheel drive vehicles fitted to the rear wheel drive shaft ..<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

When the defect results in a fault condition \u201cout of range\u201d of the sensor (short circuit or open circuit), a fault code is written to memory which can be recovered using test equipment (scanner). In this case, the corresponding system enters a state of emergency. If the engine speed sensor fails, it does not work. In the case of the wheel speed sensor (ABS) the system is deactivated.<\/p>

When the fault results in a fault condition \u201cwithin operating range\u201d of the sensor, there is usually no fault code recording and symptoms depend on the application. The most compromised are:<\/p>

The engine speed sensor: the engine may not run or stop abruptly;<\/p>

Wheel Speed \u200b\u200bSensor (ABS): May cause erratic system operation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

For the diagnosis the scanner can be used, displaying the parameter \u201cRotation\u201d, \u201cVehicle Speed\u201d, \u201cWheel Speed\u201d (ABS). Also, it can be diagnosed by recovering possible fault codes stored in memory.<\/p>

In reluctance sensors, the coil can be checked with ohmmeter; The generated signal is verified with a voltmeter (not a pen) by rotating the corresponding axis with a certain speed.<\/p>

Magneto resistive and HALL effect sensors can be diagnosed with voltmeter or polarity pen. The signal can be verified by rotating the corresponding axis slowly.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
