Product Introduction
The AI-TEK 70085-8080-004 is a robust speed sensor designed for precise rotational speed monitoring in industrial environments. This industrial automation module delivers reliable performance even under harsh conditions, making it a critical component for machinery protection and process control.
Technical Specifications Breakdown
The AI-TEK 70085-8080-004 offers several key technical parameters that ensure accurate speed sensing:
-
Output Voltage (Standard): 55 V (P-P) – high signal amplitude for long-distance transmission.
-
Output Voltage (Guarantee Point): 4.2 V (P-P) – ensures a minimum signal level for reliable detection.
-
Typical Inductance: 125 mH ref. – contributes to stable output characteristics.
-
Operating Temperature: -30 to +85°C – wide range for varied industrial settings.
-
DC Resistance: 960 ohms max – low resistance minimizes signal loss.
-
Net Weight: 3 oz. max – lightweight design simplifies installation.
-
Cable Length: 10 m (standard) – flexible placement options.
-
Termination: Cable – direct connection to monitoring systems.
Industry Applications
The AI-TEK 70085-8080-004 speed sensor is ideal for monitoring rotating machinery such as motors, pumps, and compressors. In petrochemical plants, its wide temperature range and rugged construction reduce failure risks. For wind turbines, the 55V P-P output ensures accurate speed data transmission over long cables. The sensor's 4.2V guaranteed voltage point provides a reliable threshold for condition monitoring systems.
Installation & Setup Guidance
Install the AI-TEK 70085-8080-004 with a thread size of .375 without threads (no thd) and a thread length of 2.5 inches. Ensure the sensor length of 2.5 inches aligns with the target gear or shaft. Connect the white lead for positive output polarity. Use the 1/2 NPT conduit thread for secure cable routing. Cable length is 10 meters, allowing flexible positioning of the monitoring equipment.
Maintenance & Reliability
The AI-TEK 70085-8080-004 requires minimal maintenance due to its solid-state design. Inspect the cable and connector periodically for wear, especially in high-vibration environments. The -30 to +85°C temperature rating ensures stable operation in most industrial settings. Regularly verify output voltage levels (55V P-P standard, 4.2V guaranteed) to detect sensor degradation early.
Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice
When ordering the AI-TEK 70085-8080-004, confirm the required cable length (standard 10 m) and termination type (cable). This model does not carry agency approvals, so verify application-specific safety requirements. For bulk or urgent needs, contact ubest101 for stock availability and competitive pricing. Always ensure spare sensors match your system's lead length specifications.
