ABSTRACT:
A rotary speed measurement device includes an oscillator including a resonant circuit with a coil which conducts a resonant current to develop a magnetic field therearound. A wheel is connected to rotate together with a rotating member and is provided along circumference with alternately arranged first and second marks which causes different magnetic effect on the magnetic field. The coil is disposed adjacent the wheel so as to sense the magnetic effect and provide a corresponding voltage Vs. An analyzer is provided to give a parameter Vsub based upon voltage Vs and to compare the parameter with a predetermined threshold V.sub.TH to give a pulse when the parameter exceeds the threshold as indicative of that the wheel rotates by an increment corresponding to an angular distance between the first mark and the adjacent second mark. The pulse is counted by a counter within a unit time to obtain a rotary speed of the wheel. The device is characterized to include a reference circuit connected in circuit with the resonant circuit to provide a reference voltage Vr which is in phase with voltage Vs and varies at a different rate from voltage Vs in response to the inductance change in the coil, and to include a differential low-pass filter which is connected to receive voltage Vs and reference voltage Vr for providing a difference therebetween as the parameter Vsub to be compared at the analyzer with the threshold V.sub.TH. Thus, voltage difference between Vs and Vr can represent the parameter of which amplitude is kept within a limited range irrespective of the distance between the coil and the wheel, whereby realizing successful rotary speed measurement without necessitating to care the relative position of the rotor to the wheel, and extending the measurable distance between the coil and the wheel.
