- Connect other lead to common or ground.
- Do not exceed torque 5 Nm (44 in-lb).
Compatibility
- Works with any AC-coupled tachometer or overspeed relay.
- Replaces many AI-TEK 70085 wire-lead models.
- Target: ferrous steel gears, shafts with keyways.
Shipping & Warranty
- 12-month warranty from delivery date. Covers factory defects.
- Shipping options: FedEx, UPS, DHL with tracking.
- Same-day dispatch for orders before 2 PM EST.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Q: What speed gives the guaranteed 4.2V output?
A: About 200 RPM with a 60-tooth gear. Lower speed gives less voltage. - Q: Can I extend the wire leads?
A: Yes. Use shielded twisted pair. Keep total length under 100 feet. - Experience-based Q: My reading is unstable at low RPM. Why?
A: Reduce air gap to 0.008 inch. Also check gear runout. - Selection Guide Q: This 70085-1010-355 vs 70085-1010-018?
A: Choose -355 for tiny 3/8-24 threads and wire leads. Choose -018 for 5/8-18 threads and connector. - Q: Does the warranty cover wire damage?
A: No. Warranty covers sensor coil failure only. Wires damaged by pulling are not covered. - Q: How to test before mounting?
A: Move a steel bolt quickly across the tip. Connect oscilloscope to wires. You will see pulses.
Selection Guidance
- Need tiny thread 3/8-24? This 70085-1010-355 is your choice.
- For temperatures above 107°C, pick a high-temp sensor.
- If you need a connector, choose 70085-1010-018 version.
- This 2 oz weight perfect for vibration-prone machines.
- Order spare wire nuts or terminal blocks separately.
Diagnostic Tips
- Check DC resistance across wires: should be 700-960 ohms. Open circuit = bad coil.
- Spin a gear near sensor tip at hand speed, measure AC voltage (should be >100 mV).
- Inspect wire insulation for cuts or melting.
