This paper describes a novel variable reluctance speed sensor with distributed magnetic circuit configuration. It provides the sensor analysis well supported by test results. This sensor when compared with a lumped element sensor shows improved performance and simplicity because of its magnetically distributed configuration and reduced number of parts. Recommendations are made based on original analytical and experimental work with applications in the automotive industry.
