Installation Guide
- Clean the mounting hole before installing the 5/8-18 thread sensor.
- Hand-tighten then torque to 15-20 Nm. Do not overtighten.
- Set air gap between sensor tip and gear: 0.25 mm to 0.76 mm.
- Use 1/2 NPT conduit to protect cable from abrasion or heat.
- Route cable away from high voltage lines to avoid signal noise.
- Test output voltage at low speed: should exceed 1 V P-P at 100 RPM.
Debugging & Maintenance Convenience
- Simple two-wire interface — easy to check continuity.
- No calibration needed. Built tough for long life.
- Check tip for metal debris or damage every 6 months.
- Clean sensor face gently with a soft cloth and isopropyl alcohol.
- Loose cable? Verify 1/2 NPT fitting is tight to avoid movement.
- For zero output, measure resistance: coil should read 200-1500 ohms.
Compatibility Information
- Works with most PLCs (Siemens, Rockwell, Mitsubishi) using analog inputs.
- Compatible with frequency-to-voltage converters and counters.
- Matches standard ferrous gears: 8 to 200 teeth, module 1 to 4.
- Direct replacement for many 5/8-18 sensors on industrial motors.
- No special controller needed — outputs pure AC sine wave signal.
Certification & Warranty
- Agency approval: None (suitable for non-hazardous industrial sites).
- Warranty: 12 months from invoice date against defects.
- Covers material and workmanship. Excludes misuse or improper installation.
- Return procedure: contact support for RMA number.

- Built-in self-check: output amplitude changes with speed variation.
- Use oscilloscope to view waveform shape — clean sine wave confirms health.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
- Q: Does this sensor need external power?
- A: No. AI-TEK 70085-3030-113 is passive magnetic. It self-generates voltage.
- Q: What is the minimum detectable speed?
- A: At 100 RPM with 60-tooth gear, output > 1 V P-P. Very low speed detection.
- Q: Can I use this in wet environments?
- A: Yes. Rated -65°C to 95°C. Sealed cable and thread provide moisture resistance.
- Q: Why is output voltage lower than expected?
- A: Check air gap or gear surface. Larger gap reduces voltage. Adjust to <0.5 mm.
- Q: How long is the cable? Can I extend it?
- A: 3 meters standard. Extend with shielded cable up to 30 meters without signal loss.
- Q: Is there a specific orientation for mounting?
- A: No direction restriction. Mount perpendicular to gear teeth for best signal.
- Q: Does it come with mounting accessories?
- A: Sold as sensor only. Use customer-supplied locknut for 5/8-18 thread.
-
- Q: From your experience, what is the most common installation mistake?
- A: Setting air gap too wide. We recommend 0.3 mm for best signal reliability.
- Q: Can this sensor replace Allen-Bradley 8720 or similar?
- A: Often yes. Check thread size 5/8-18 and output type. Works for many magnetic pickups.
- Buyer’s guide tip: Verify your gear module and thread spec before ordering.
- For high vibration areas, use lock washer and flexible conduit to protect cable.
- If you need agency approvals (ATEX/IECEx), consider other models. This has none.
- Large orders: contact for bulk discount and fast FedEx priority shipping.
- Need custom cable length? Request quotation before purchase.
