Abstract: A monitoring system includes first and second, axially adjacent, phonic wheels formed from respective axially adjacent portions of a unitary annular body and mounted coaxially to the shaft for rotation therewith. The first and second phonic wheels have respective first and second circumferential rows of teeth. The system further includes a sensor configured to detect the passage of the first row of teeth by generating a first alternating measurement signal component, and to detect the passage of the second row of teeth by generating a second alternating measurement signal component. The sensor generates a signal having both the first and the second alternating measurement signal components when axially positioned midway between the first and second phonic wheels. The teeth of the first and second rows are configured such that the first alternating measurement signal component has an identical frequency to the second alternating measurement signal component.
