Product Introduction
When equipment speed monitoring is critical for process control, the AI-TEK 70085-1010-026 Speed Sensor provides precise, reliable feedback. This Industrial Automation Module is engineered for demanding environments where accurate rotational speed measurement prevents costly downtime. The 70085-1010-026 is a passive magnetic pickup sensor that generates a voltage proportional to target speed.
Key Technical Specifications
The AI-TEK 70085-1010-026 offers robust electrical and mechanical specs. Its standard output voltage reaches 150 V (P-P) with a guaranteed point of 12.9 V (P-P). DC resistance is 1500 ohms max, and typical inductance is 360 mH ref. Output polarity is pin ‘B’ positive. Operating temperature spans -55 to +107°C, ensuring functionality in extreme conditions. Net weight is 5 oz. max. Mechanical features include a 5/8-18 thread size, 3.625 in thread length, and 4.75 in sensor length. Termination is via a connector. Agency approval: None.
Real-World Applications
In compressor monitoring, the AI-TEK 70085-1010-026 measures shaft speed for over-speed protection. In conveyor systems, it ensures consistent material flow by verifying drive speed. For pump monitoring in oil and gas, the 70085-1010-026 provides the vital feedback needed to avoid cavitation. Its wide temperature range suits both indoor and outdoor installations.
Installation Guidance
Mount the AI-TEK 70085-1010-026 with a 5/8-18 threaded hole, ensuring a proper air gap per manufacturer recommendations. Align the sensor perpendicular to the target gear or shaft. Use the connector for secure wiring; verify output polarity to match your system (pin B positive). Test the sensor output before full system startup.
Maintenance for Reliability
Regularly inspect the AI-TEK 70085-1010-026 for physical damage, especially the tip and threads. Clean any debris or buildup that could affect sensing. The sensor's rugged design requires minimal maintenance—just periodic checks on connector integrity and air gap. This reliability reduces total cost of ownership by avoiding unplanned replacements.
Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice
Before ordering, confirm your target speed range and target material (ferrous). Verify thread size (5/8-18) and required cable length. The AI-TEK 70085-1010-026 is available from ubest101, a trusted supplier of industrial automation spares. Ensure compatibility with your monitoring system—check input impedance and voltage requirements. For custom applications, consult specifications carefully.
