General Information
The Baumer MTR series is designated for speed measurement in harsh environment, in particular for railway applications. It offers compliance with all relevant standards such as the EN 50155, EN 61373, EN 45455 and exceeds these requirements in many aspects to meet the
expectations in real life. The measurement principle is based on measuring the changes in the magnetic field when a gear wheel rotates in
front of the sensor.
The sensors are available in many variants:





Electronics: sensors with different number of signals, insulated systems and outputs are available
Housing: railway typical housing with 42mm flange in straight and L-shaped (angled) versions
Connection: customer specific connections at the cable end
Screening: there are variants where the cable screen is either connect to the sensor housing or not
Gear wheel: the sensors can be adjusted to operate with different wheels, in particular with different modules
EN/2015.11.30
On the following pages it is described how the different variants can be generated:
First the sensor electronics needs to be chosen, followed by the sensor housing, the connection, the target gear wheel, cable termination and
cable length.
Design and specifications subject to change without notice
The robust stainless steel housing together with a rugged 13mm thick silicone cable provides a high mechanical stability for demanding applications. In particular, its high pull out force reduces the risk of damage during installation. The innovative screening concept (patent pending)
transfers the cable screen to the inside of the sensor and guarantees that the sensor electronics is always protect from electromagnetic disturbances which are present for example in the vicinity of traction motors. In addition, the internal screen provides a high insulation resistance
between electronics and sensor housing. This reduces the risk of sensor damage, if there high differences in electric potential between sensor housing and electronics. The sensors were qualified in very demanding environmental and EMC tests. The associated test reports are
available upon request. Speed generation down to 0 Hz allows for accurate measurements of slow speed.

Installation information (general)
Setup sensor to gear wheel Details
Working distance
The allowable air gap range is dependent on the gear wheel and is listed in the section 5) target. The closer
the sensor is mounted to the gear wheel the more stable the signals will be. During operation, the gear wheel
must not touch the front face of the sensor, as this might damage the sensor.
Alignment of sensor to wheel
In order to get optimal signals, the sensor should be centered with respect to the toothed gear. This means
that side offset should be kept minimal.
Mechanical interface
Details
Clamping of cable
Worst case conditions:

Sensor is mounted horizontally

Cable is not bent until first clamp

Vibrations class: EN 61373 category 3 (wheel axis)
In worst case conditions, the first clamping point of the cable must be at maximal L=500mm. Please consult
Baumer if longer free cable length is required.
Pull out force
The sensor variant with the silicone cable has a high pull out force 200 N.
