RS PRO Magnetic Pick Up Stainless Steel Barrel Housing 15V dc 304-172

RS PRO 304-172 Magnetic Pick Up is a precision sensor featuring a stainless steel barrel housing designed for motion control sensing applications operating at 15V dc maximum supply voltage. It is used extensively to detect ferrous metal parts passing within proximity, such as gear teeth or sprockets, by generating output pulses that represent the movement of machine mounted targets.

The sensor's robust stainless steel housing provides durability and resistance to dirt and environmental stresses, allowing use in demanding industrial, automotive, and manufacturing conditions. Its wire terminal facilitates easy installation and wiring in control systems.

The operating principle relies on detecting changes caused by ferrous discontinuities moving past the sensor's pole piece, producing positive output voltage pulses used for speed regulation, ignition timing, diagnostic systems, and feedback control.

Key uses include sensing the motion of gears, timing belt wheels, bolt heads, and key-ways, making it suitable for automation and control gear systems in industrial machinery, automotive engines, and peripheral equipment such as line printers and card readers.

This sensor offers reliable, high-output signal generation suitable for integration with heavy-duty wiring harnesses. It supports temperature ranges from -20°C to +85°C, allowing broad operational flexibility. The fully encapsulated design guarantees dependable operation though the device is not intended for immersion in fluids.
