Product Overview

The magnetic pickup reads passing flywheel/ring-gear teeth and generates an AC frequency signal proportional to engine speed. Governors and control modules use that signal for RPM indication, speed control and protection. Excessive air gap, damaged wiring, metal debris on the tip or an open sensor winding can cause loss of RPM signal or unstable governing.

Cummins service data cross-references 3034572 with 3251812 and publishes detailed setup values for this pickup family. The 5/8-18 UNF-2A thread distinguishes it from larger 3/4-16 pickup sensors used in other governor systems.

Key Features & Performance

  • Passive magnetic speed pickup for engine flywheel/gear-tooth sensing
  • Cummins reference 3034572; cross-reference 3251812
  • 5/8-18 UNF-2A threaded body
  • Supported engine families include K19, K38, K50, M11, N14, NT855, QSK19, QSK38, QSNT14 and V28 where this sensor is specified

Specifications & Reference Numbers

  • Part number: 3034572
  • Cross-reference: 3251812
  • Thread: 5/8-18 UNF-2A
  • Signal type: Passive AC magnetic pickup
  • Published frequency range: 50–5000 Hz
  • Published air-gap range: Approx. 0.028–0.042 in. where applicable to the Cummins procedure

Before You Order

Set the pickup gap according to the engine/control manual. Do not bottom the sensor against the flywheel teeth. Inspect harness shielding/connections if the RPM signal remains unstable after replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does this sensor need external power?
A: No. A passive magnetic pickup generates AC voltage as ferrous gear teeth pass the tip.

Q: Why is air gap important?
A: Too large a gap weakens the signal; contact with the gear can physically damage the sensor. Cummins publishes an installation gap for this pickup family.
