1 Hall Effect Sensors
This section will cover Hall effect sensors, including how they detect changes in magnetic fields generated by the crankshaft's rotation. The applications and advantages of Hall effect sensors in automotive systems will also be discussed.
2 Inductive Sensors
Inductive sensors use electromagnetic induction to measure the position and speed of the crankshaft. This part will explain the working principle of inductive sensors, their key features, and where they are commonly used in engine monitoring.
3 Optical Sensors
Optical sensors rely on light beams to sense the position of the crankshaft teeth. Students will learn about the components of optical sensors, their benefits, and the challenges associated with their use in detecting crankshaft movements.
4 Comparison of Different Types of Crankshaft Sensors
This section will compare and contrast the Hall effect, inductive, and optical sensors in terms of their accuracy, durability, response time, and cost. Students will gain a comprehensive understanding of the strengths and limitations of each type of crankshaft sensor.
