p-a2pk/f45t70 – pick-up sensor

Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi P-A2PK/F45T70 Pick-Up Sensor?

The Carlo Gavazzi P-A2PK/F45T70 is a robust magnetic pick-up sensor designed for gear-speed measurement and other industrial applications requiring pulse generation from moving ferromagnetic targets. Each time a suitable target such as a gear tooth passes close to the sensing face, the sensor generates an electrical pulse that can be used by compatible monitoring or control equipment.

The P-A2PK/F45T70 uses a simple two-wire magnetic sensing principle and is particularly suited to rotational-speed monitoring in machinery and drive systems. Its passive pick-up design makes it a practical solution where reliable detection of ferromagnetic movement is required without the complexity of a conventional powered electronic proximity sensor.

This model features an M20 × 1.5 threaded plastic housing with a 70 mm housing length, together with a 400 mm cable and AMP connector. A wide operating temperature range from -40 °C to +130 °C and IP65 protection make it suitable for demanding industrial speed-sensing applications.

Reliable Magnetic Pick-Up Sensing for Gear-Speed Measurement

Magnetic pick-up sensors such as the Carlo Gavazzi P-A2PK/F45T70 detect the movement of ferromagnetic targets by producing electrical pulses as the target passes the sensor face. When installed close to a rotating gear, each passing tooth produces a pulse that can be processed by compatible instrumentation to measure rotational speed or monitor machine movement.

The sensor's threaded cylindrical housing enables accurate positioning relative to the target, while the extended 70 mm body provides additional mounting flexibility. Its broad temperature range and IP65 enclosure protection make it suitable for use close to machinery, transmissions and other industrial rotating components.

Typical Applications

• Gear-speed measurement.
• Rotational speed monitoring.
• Ferromagnetic gear-tooth detection.
• Industrial machinery speed feedback.
• Shaft and drive-system monitoring.
• Transmission and gearbox monitoring.
• Conveyor and material handling equipment.
• Industrial automation and machine diagnostics.
