Hall sensors contain a semiconductor Hall effect integrated circuit (IC) and a magnet. There are Hall sensor types available that can be used with a tooth (gear) style trigger wheel for measuring crank angle or wheel speed, and types that use a vaned rotor passing through a Hall sensor gap.

The IC detects changes in the field strength as the vane passes through the sensor gap or a tooth passes the sensor tip. The output voltage changes from low to high (or high to low) when the leading edge of the tooth passes the centre of the sensor.

The vane or tooth material must be magnetically soft, such as mild steel—do not use stainless steel.

NOTE: This sensor is ideally used for ferrous (non magnet) tooth surfaces for wheel speed sensors.

Calibrating Wheel Speeds

In order to properly calibrate the wheel speed sensor in the Computer you must know the circumference of the tire. According to Geometry the circumfer­ence is equal to the diameter of the tire multiplied by Pi (3.14159). Unfortunately, your tire diameter will change when it is supporting the weight of the car. So the best way to get the tire circumference is to mark the tire and the ground, and then push the car until the mark on the tire is again back on the ground. Then measure the linear distance between the two marks. You can then divide this measurement into the distance you are calibrating for (1 mile = 5280 ft.). The result is the number of tire revs per mile or KM. Then we have to multiply this number by the number of teeth on the trigger wheel. Finally, the total is divided by 10 to arrive at the calibration value. Circumference = 8.3 feet 5280/8.3 = 636 Number of teeth = 4 so 636(4) = 2544/10 = 254.4 Calibration value is 254.4
