A speed sensor, also known as a tachometer sensor, is a device that is used to measure the rotational speed of a machine or engine. It typically consists of a rotor with a series of slots or holes around its circumference, and a sensor that is positioned adjacent to the rotor. As the rotor rotates, the sensor detects the passing slots or holes and generates a pulse signal. The frequency of the pulse signal is proportional to the speed of the rotor. A slot-type optocoupler is a type of sensor that uses an optical coupling mechanism to isolate the sensor from the rotor. It is often used in high-speed or harsh environments where electrical noise or interference is a concern.

Use this module as either a speed sensor or a tacho-counter.

Widely used in motor speed detection, pulse counting, position limit and so on.
