The AI-TEK 70085-1010-024 features a guaranteed output voltage of 0.4 V (P-P) at the guarantee point, ensuring reliable triggering at low speeds. Its DC resistance of 125 ohms max and typical inductance of 5-12 mH provide stable signal characteristics for industrial control systems.
Industry Applications
This speed sensor excels in applications such as turbine speed monitoring, conveyor belt synchronization, and pump rotation detection. The wide operating temperature range makes it ideal for steel mills, refineries, and outdoor installations. By using the AI-TEK 70085-1010-024, facilities reduce maintenance intervals and avoid costly unplanned downtime, delivering a strong return on investment over time.
Installation & Setup Guidance
Mount the sensor using the 1/4-40 thread into a standard sensor port. The thread length of 0.687 inches ensures proper engagement. Connect the white lead to the positive input of your monitoring system; the other wire serves as ground. Ensure the sensor gap to the target gear or shaft follows manufacturer recommendations—typically 0.020 to 0.040 inches. The 8-inch lead provides flexibility for wiring in tight spaces.
Maintenance & Reliability
With no moving parts, the AI-TEK 70085-1010-024 requires minimal maintenance. Periodic inspection of the lead wires for abrasion and cleanliness of the sensor tip ensures long-term performance. The rugged construction withstands vibration and thermal cycling. Choosing this sensor reduces total cost of ownership by extending replacement cycles and avoiding process interruptions.
Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice
Before ordering, verify your system requires a 1/4-40 thread and a sensor length of 1 inch. The overall thread length is 0.687 inches. For replacement applications, confirm the existing sensor's wiring polarity matches the AI-TEK 70085-1010-024 (white lead positive). PLC Source PRO stocks this exact model.
