The Air‑gap Magnetic Pickup Sensor 171‑233 is a precision engine speed signal sensor used in diesel generator sets and heavy machinery to accurately monitor engine RPM by detecting magnetic pulses from rotating gear teeth. It converts mechanical motion into an electrical signal used by the generator control system for stable performance and speed regulation.
Where It Is Used
The 171‑233 magnetic pickup is commonly used in:
-
Diesel generators (e.g., FG Wilson 21 kVA to 165 kVA genset models)
-
Perkins diesel engines and gensets compatible with this sensor range
-
Industrial engine RPM sensing & speed control systems
-
Machinery where precise rotational speed feedback is required
Key Functions & Features
-
RPM/Speed detection: Accurately senses rotating gear or flywheel movement and generates electrical pulses proportional to engine speed.
-
Magnetic induction operation: Non‑contact sensing improves reliability with minimal mechanical wear.
-
Durable and rugged design: Built to withstand typical engine bay vibration and temperature conditions.
-
Easy installation: Threaded sensor housing (e.g., M16 interface) for secure mounting in engine or generator gear housings.
-
Essential for control systems: Supplies critical speed feedback to generator controllers for stable voltage and frequency output.
