Speed and Direction Sensors 

Timken offers a unique line of standard and custom solutions designed to provide speed and directional feedback for a wide range of applications.

The Multiplying Encoder ASIC (MPS160) offers an alternative to delicate optical sensors and expensive resolvers. The fully integrated Timken design features on-chip Hall sensors and processing for optical encoder resolutions in a small, durable and low-cost package.

This model is a high-resolution modular incremental encoder offering reliable performance at an economical price. Its patented magnetic technology provides operational advantages over conventional optical encoders in high-temperature, shock and vibration environments.

Timken's THS25 Industrial Package Magnetic Encoders incorporate the Hall effect and magnetic targets to provide sensing for angular motion of mechanical components in a variety of industrial applications.

Timken’s unique Speed Sensor/Position Sensor features a flexible design that incorporates various sensing technologies, such as Timken’s multiplying encoder ASIC, to provide high-resolution feedback in motors and rotating axles and shafts.

Designed for off-highway applications, this speed and direction solution features an integrated Timken Multiplying Encoder ASIC to provide high-resolution (up to 1024 PPR per channel) from a small, two-inch magnetic target.

Depending on the magnetic target size, the low resolution transmission speed sensor provides up to 128 PPR per channel resolution and is easily adaptable to a variety of package configurations.
