    Magnetic Speed/Tachometer Sensors
      These generate a signal by sensing the proximity or transition of ferrous metal masses: gear teeth, tone wheel, reluctor, bolts or rivets; or interruptions in ferrous targets: slotted wheel.
Digital. Accurate signal from zero speed. 3-Wire installation (Power, Ground, Signal.) SPECIFICATIONS.
Analog. Sine wave output. Speed data normally read as voltage. 2-wire installation. No external power source required. SPECIFICATIONS.

Hall Effect Sensors
Hall Effect Sensors electronically switch the supplied voltage, providing is a very precise signal, accurate from zero speed. MSC makes Hall Effect VSS with 4, 8, and 16 pulses per revolution.
Reed Relay Switch 
Mechanically switches supplied voltage, activated by the transition of magnets. Specify 2 or 4 pulses per revolution.
Dual Output Sensors 
Designed for applications requiring two different output signals. Sensors can be mated according to need, with a Reed Relay and a Hall Effect, two Reed Relay units, or two Hall Effect units, providing any combination of available PPM signals.
