ABSTRACT:
A process and a device for contactless measurement of rotational speed with a proximity sensor operating according to the eddy current principle. The proximity sensor comprises an inductor and a capacitor connected in parallel that form an oscillating circuit which can be excited from outside, and where the resonant frequency of the oscillating circuit experiences a detectable change when an object to be measured approaches the proximity sensor. In various embodiments, the resonant frequency of the oscillating circuit or the excitation frequency of the oscillating circuit is controlled as a reaction to slow changes of the resonant frequency in such a manner that the oscillating circuit is always excited with its resonant frequency or with a frequency close to its resonant frequency and that rapid changes are detected as a measurement signal for the measurement of rotational speed.
