The differential magnetoresistive sensor FP 210 L 100-22 consists of two series coupled
L-type InSb/NiSb semiconductor resistors. The resistance value of the MRs, which are
mounted onto an insulated ferrite substrate, can be magnetically controlled. The sensor
is encapsulated in a plastic package with three in-line contacts extending from the base.
The basic resistance of the total system in the unbiased state is 2×100
Ω.
A permanent
magnet which supplies a biasing magnetic field is built into the housing.

1. Digital revolution counting
For digital revolution counting, the sensor should be actuated by a magnetically soft iron
toothed wheel. The tooth spacing should correspond to about twice the magneto resistor
intercenter spacing (see
Fig. 1).
The two resistors of the sensor are supplemented by two additional resistors in order to
obtain the sensor output voltage as a bridge voltage
V
OUT
. The output voltage
V
OUT
without excitation then is 0 V when the offset is compensated.

2. Linear distance measurement
To convert small distances into a proportional electric signal, a small soft iron part of
definite width (e.g.
b
= 1.8 mm) is moved over the face of the sensor.
Proportional signals for distances up to 1.5 mm can be obtained in this way. The
sinusoidal output signal gives a voltage proportional to distance in the zero crossover
region (see
Fig. 3).
