| Abstract: |
In this work, a tachometer based on a Metglas/PZT/Metglas magnetoelectric (ME) composite was developed to achieve high-precision rotational speed measurement over a wide temperature range (−70 °C to 160 °C). The tachometer converts external magnetic signals into electrical signals through the ME effect and operates stably in extreme temperature environments. COMSOL Multiphysics software was used for simulation analysis to investigate the ME response characteristics of the composite in such environments. To evaluate the properties of the ME composite under different conditions, its response characteristics at various frequencies, DC bias, and temperatures were systematically investigated. A permanent magnet and a DC motor were used to simulate gear rotation, and the voltage output was analyzed by adjusting the position between the sensor and the DC motor. The results show that the measured values of the ME tachometer closely match the set values, and the tachometer demonstrates high measurement accuracy within the range of 480 to 1260 revolutions per minute (rpm). Additionally, the properties of the ME composite at different temperatures were examined. In the temperature range from −70 °C to 160 °C, the ME coefficients exhibit good regularity and stability, with the measured trend closely matching the simulation results, ensuring the reliability and accuracy of the ME tachometer. To verify its practicality, the measurement capability of the ME tachometer was comprehensively tested under extreme temperature conditions. The results show that in high-temperature environments, the tachometer can accurately measure speed while maintaining a high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), demonstrating excellent anti-interference ability. The proposed ME tachometer shows promising application potential in extreme temperature conditions, particularly in complex industrial environments that require high reliability and precision.
