Reference Target (Gear) Information

For the generation of adequate magnetic field levels, the fol-

lowing recommendations should be followed in the design and

specification of targets:

• 2 mm < tooth width, t < 4 mm

• Tooth thickness, F ≥ 3 mm

• Target material must be low carbon steel

Although these parameters apply to targets of traditional

geometry (radially oriented teeth with radial sensing, shown in

figure 1), they also can be applied in applications using stamped

targets (an aperture or rim gap punched out of the target mate-

rial) and axial sensing. For stamped geometries with axial sens-

material specification need only be considered for reference. For

example, F can now be < 3 mm.
