Installation & Setup Guidance
Mount the AI-TEK 70085-1010-086 using the 3/8-24 threaded body, ensuring proper alignment with the target gear or shaft. The wire termination allows flexible connection to control systems. Maintain an air gap of 0.005 to 0.060 inches between the sensor tip and the rotating ferrous object for optimal signal strength. Secure the wires to avoid stress on the 18-inch leads. For best results, follow the manufacturer's guidelines for mounting distance and orientation.
Maintenance & Reliability
The AI-TEK 70085-1010-086 is built for long-term reliability with no moving parts, requiring minimal maintenance. Regularly inspect the sensor for physical damage, dirt accumulation, and secure mounting. The robust construction withstands temperatures from -55°C to +107°C, making it suitable for demanding environments. Proper installation and periodic checks ensure the sensor maintains its guaranteed output of 4.2 V P-P at the specified air gap, extending service life and maximizing ROI.
Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice
When selecting the AI-TEK 70085-1010-086, verify that the thread size (3/8-24) matches your mounting requirements and that the lead length (18 inches for -086 variant) is sufficient for your wiring path. This sensor is a direct replacement for many existing speed sensors in industrial automation systems.
