5 Professional FAQs (New & Unique)
- Q1: Why does output voltage show 55V but guaranteed only 3.6V?
A: 55V is peak at high speed. 3.6V is the minimum at very low speed (100 Hz). Your tachometer will work with either value. - Q2: The sensor has 960 ohm resistance. Is that normal?
A: Yes. This model uses fine wire coil for high output. 960 ohms is typical. Compare to 130 ohm models – this one gives more voltage. - Q3: Can I extend the 18-inch wires?
A: Yes. Use shielded twisted pair cable. Keep total length under 100 meters to avoid signal loss. - Q4: Does this work with non-ferrous gears like aluminum?
A: No. Needs ferrous metal (steel, iron). Aluminum will give zero output. - Q5: What gap gives best signal for this small sensor?
A: 0.010 to 0.012 inch works best. Larger gap (0.020″) drops output by 50%.
Shopping Guidance – Pick the Right AI-TEK
- ✅ Choose 70085-1010-086 for very tight spaces. Total length only 1.25 inches.
- ✅ Perfect for small motors, pumps, and compact gear drives.
- ✅ Output 55V gives strong signal even with long wire runs.
- ✅ White wire positive – easy to connect to standard inputs.
- ✅ Need longer cable? Ask for -355 variant (40 inch leads).
- ✅ 12 month warranty and FedEx/UPS/DHL fast shipping.
Typical Applications
- Small diesel engine RPM monitoring
- Compact gearbox speed feedback
- Medical equipment rotational sensors
- Packaging machinery zero speed detection
- Robotic joint speed measurement
Diagnostic Tips
- Measure DC resistance: should be near 960 ohms. Open circuit means broken coil.
- No output? Check gap and gear material. Also verify white lead is positive.
- Use oscilloscope to see sine wave shape. Clean wave means good alignment.
- Low voltage? Reduce gap to 0.010 inches.
