The sensor contains 3 Hall elements fitted side by side in one housing. The signals of the first and 3rd Hal elements form the differential signal to determine the signal frequency and air gap to the multi-pole sensor gear. The temporal offset of the signal of the middle element to the differential signal allows detection of rotation to the right or left.
