Honeywell Thrumold Variable Reluctance Speed (VRS) Sensors

Honeywell Thrumold Variable Reluctance Speed (VRS) Sensors are designed to detect engine timing and transmission speed. The passive VRS sensors determine the speed and position of rotating shafts in heavy-duty, off-road, and construction vehicles, providing information to help improve engine combustion process efficiency. These simple, rugged devices do not require any external voltage source for operation and have no moving parts or wear mechanisms. Honeywell Thrumold VRS Sensors provide a precise engine timing signal to optimize the combustion process in engine camshaft and crankshaft applications. This series features a -40°C to +150°C operating temperature range.
