The rotating part includes a spindle and a centrifuge rotor enclosing a separation space. The rotating part is supported by the frame by at least one bearing device. The centrifugal separator further includes a system for detecting rotation of the rotating part. The system includes at least one first type of sector each occupying a first length of the perimeter of a member arranged for rotation with the rotating part, and at least one second type of sector each occupying a second length of the perimeter of the member arranged for rotation. The at least one second type of sector is spaced apart from the at least one first type of sector. The second length is different compared to the first length. The at least one first and second types of sectors are irregularly spaced around the perimeter of the member arranged for rotation. The system further includes an inductive sensor arranged to detect the at least one first and second types of sectors and give rise to a binary pulse sequence upon rotation of the member arranged for rotation. The temporal widths of the binary pulses correspond to the lengths of the at least one first and the at least one second types of sectors, respectively.

Abstract: Three light emitting elements and one light receiving element are provided on a surface of a substrate. An arithmetic processing portion of a signal processing circuit separates three reflected light signals from a light detection signal from the light receiving element. The arithmetic processing portion calculates a square sum of the difference between the entire waveforms of the reflected light signals while the reflected light signal is shifted. The arithmetic processing portion calculates a phase difference between the reflected light signals on the basis of a shift amount with which the calculated value is minimum. On the basis of similar processing, the arithmetic processing portion calculates a phase difference between the reflected light signals. The arithmetic processing portion identifies a movement direction of a detection object on the basis of the phase differences.
