Abstract
A dual speed sensor pickup assembly (140) for sensing the rotational velocity of two independently rotatable, closely axially spaced exciter rotors (116 and 118) is provided. The pickup assembly includes two speed sensor assemblies (136 and 138) each including a pole piece (152,160) having a longitudianl axis (152a,160a) with the longitudinal axes skewed relative to one another but radial relative to the common axes of rotation (24) of the exciter rotors. Each speed sensor includes a permanent magnet (154,162) disposed between an end of the pole piece (152,160) and having a face divided into first and second surface (154a,154b and 162a,162b) by a slot (154c,162c) therein. In one embodiment a primary coil (156,164) and a secondary or anti-cross talk coil (158,166) surrounds the pole piece of each sensor (136,138), and each secondary coil is conductively connected to the primary coil of the other sensor. In another embodiment, an electronic circuit (176) is provided for producing anti-cross talk signals which are added to the speed sensor signals.
