Industrial MSP6735 Magnetic Speed Pickup Sensor

Description:

The MSP6735 Magnetic Speed Pickup Sensor is used in engine control and generator governor systems to detect rotational speed by sensing the passing teeth of a flywheel or ring gear. Commonly installed in diesel engines, generator sets, compressors, pumps, and industrial power equipment requiring accurate RPM feedback for electronic speed control and overspeed protection. Maintenance teams and system integrators use this sensor for engine repairs, governor upgrades, and replacement of failed speed sensing devices in industrial and standby power applications. The sensor features a 3/4-16 UNF-2A threaded body for direct installation into flywheel housings and engine bell housings.

Applications:

The MSP6735 magnetic speed pickup sensor is commonly used in diesel generator sets, industrial engines, marine propulsion systems, compressors, irrigation pumps, and electronic governor systems where accurate engine speed feedback is required. The MSP6735 generates an AC frequency signal proportional to flywheel speed without requiring an external power supply, making it suitable for harsh industrial environments and high-temperature applications.
