The GEL 2444 MiniCODERs are available in three variants, the GEL 2444-T sensor that generates a square wave output, the GEL 2444-K sensor that generates a sine wave output and the GEL 2444-D that generates square wave output and a rotational speed histogram. The output signals are generated from teeth on a ferro-magnetic tooth-wheel passing the sensing head. This measuring principle has found applications in machine tool spindles (including HSC high-speed-cutting spindles), electric motors, gearboxes and a wide range of other applications.

Due to the contact-free operating principle, applications to over 70,000rpm have been realised and the electronics comply with the “safety integrated” standard for numerical control applications.
