| Mounting | Installations designed for MSP6724 and 3/4-16 UNF-2A pickup thread |
Product Overview
A magnetic pickup sits close to a ferrous gear—typically the flywheel ring gear—and generates an AC frequency signal as gear teeth pass the sensor tip. The governor or controller converts that frequency into engine speed. A failed or incorrectly gapped pickup can cause no RPM signal, unstable governing, crank-but-no-speed detection, or shutdown faults.
The 3/4-16 UNF-2A thread and MSP6724 designation are the key mechanical identifiers. Installation depth/gap is critical: the sensor should be adjusted to the equipment manufacturer’s air-gap procedure rather than forced against the gear teeth.
Key Features & Performance
- Passive magnetic pickup; no external sensor power is required to generate the basic speed signal
- MSP6724 designation with 3/4-16 UNF-2A threaded mounting body
- Produces a frequency signal proportional to passing gear-tooth speed
- Used with compatible generator, engine-governor and speed-control systems
Specifications & Reference Numbers
- Model: MSP6724
- Thread: 3/4-16 UNF-2A
- Sensor type: Magnetic pickup / variable-reluctance speed sensor
Before You Order
Verify thread size, pickup length, connector/lead arrangement and controller requirements. Set the air gap according to the engine or governor manual; excessive contact with the flywheel can damage the sensor.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does this sensor need a power supply?
A: A conventional magnetic pickup generates its own AC signal as gear teeth pass the magnetic tip.
Q: What can cause a weak speed signal besides a bad pickup?
A: Excessive air gap, damaged flywheel teeth, metal debris on the tip, poor wiring or low cranking speed can reduce the signal.
