Capable of being used at ambient temperatures of up to 285°C, Micro-Epsilon’s turboSPEED DZ136 turbocharger rotation speed sensor is ideal for test cell and on-vehicle testing. Like its predecessor, it enables measurements on turbocharger blades made from titanium or aluminium, with a spacing of up to 1.5mm and at speeds from 500 up to 400,000 rpm. All settings are carried out at the front end of the controller; the number of blades, sensitivity and speed range can all be selected. While positioning the sensor, LEDs on the controller show the distance to the object being measured. The sensors operate at a measuring frequency of 3MHz and have an integrated temperature measurement feature. No adjustments are necessary when replacing a sensor. The stainless steel preamplifier extends the maximum distance between the controller and sensor to 10 m. During design of the DZ136, the main focus was placed on resistance to interference, simply to make the operation of the tester more reliable for on-vehicle testing.
