Encoder wheels usually have 48 teeth. The tooth/gap ratio should be approx. 50 % and the teeth should be approx. 3 mm in height. The encoder wheel must be made of a ferromagnetic material. If required, Bosch Motorsport can provide technical documentation on positioning the encoder wheel. See the back cover of this booklet for our contact information.
