ABSTRACT:
An improved variable reluctance speed sensor configuration yields increased signal strength for a given sensor element diameter and/or sensor-to-speed wheel spacing. The improved sensor according to various embodiments of the invention comprises a plurality of passages containing pole pieces. The surface of the housing facing the speed wheel has thereon one or more projections. This sensor housing configuration concentrates magnetic flux in the housing when the speed wheel teeth are not aligned with the pole pieces. In particular, the projections act as flux concentrators, increasing the flux differential in the pole pieces as the speed wheel teeth pass the sensor.
