Four-wire sensor provides both speed and direction information

Honeywell's SNG-Q quadrature speed and direction sensor is now available from Mouser stock. The device's 4-wire quadrature sensing provides both speed and direction information. Speed information is provided from digital square wave outputs. Direction is provided using a quadrature output with signals 90 degree phase shifted from each other. With the quadrature output, target direction is determined by output lead/lag phase shifting. The SNG-Q is designed for a wide operating temperature range (-40C to 150C), robust electrical noise immunity, and industry-leading environmental sealing capability. SNG-Q sensor includes an O-ring seal for pressure applications and a fixed mounting flange for simple installation using one fastener. SNG-Q is designed for applications where enhanced accuracy is required to detect small target features. The device's accuracy is enabled by dual differential Hall-effect sensor IC technology.
