Abstract

The invention concerns a fluid rotary machine ( 1 ) with a housing ( 2 ), a shaft ( 3 ) led out of the housing ( 2 ) and a sensor arrangement ( 10 ) comprising a transmitter ( 12 ) in active connection with the shaft ( 3 ), and a receiver ( 15 ). It is endeavored to arrange the sensor arrangement in an advantageous manner on the fluid rotary machine. For this purpose, the sensor arrangement ( 10 ) comprises an accommodation area, in which the transmitter ( 12 ) is arranged, the accommodation area being in fluid connection with the inside of the housing ( 2 ) and sealed towards the outside, and the receiver ( 15 ) is arranged outside the housing ( 2 ) and the accommodation area.

Claims (12)

1. A fluid rotary machine with a housing, a shaft led out of the housing and a sensor arrangement comprising a transmitter in active connection with the shaft, and a receiver, wherein the sensor arrangement comprises an accommodation area, in which the transmitter is arranged, the accommodation area being in fluid connection with the inside of the housing and sealed towards the outside, and the receiver is arranged outside the housing and the accommodation area.

2. The fluid rotary machine according to claim 1 , wherein the accommodation area is formed in a front cover of the fluid rotary machine.

3. The fluid rotary machine according to claim 2 , wherein the transmitter has a support element that interacts unfrictionally with the front cover.

4. The fluid rotary machine according to claim 1 , wherein the sensor arrangement comprises a sensor housing, in which the accommodation area is arranged.

5. The fluid rotary machine according to claim 4 , wherein the transmitter has a support element that interacts unfrictionally with the sensor housing.

6. The fluid rotary machine according to claim 4 , wherein the sensor housing is screwed into a front cover of the fluid rotary machine.

7. The fluid rotary machine according to claim 1 , wherein the receiver is clamped onto the sensor housing.

8. The fluid rotary machine according to claim 1 , wherein the transmitter comprises a magnet.

9. A fluid rotary machine according to claim 1 , wherein the receiver comprises a magneto-resistive or a Hall sensor element.

10. The fluid rotary machine according to claim 1 , wherein transmitter and the receiver are elements of a Hall, rotation, tacho-generator or optical sensor.

11. The fluid rotary machine according to claim 1 , wherein the sensor arrangement comprises an output element that supplies a rectangle signal.

12. The fluid rotary machine according to claim 1 , wherein the sensor arrangement has a memory that can store at least two values.
