8017 Hazardous Area Magnetic Pickup
The 8017 Proximity Transducer is a hermetically sealed electromagnetic sensor designed for hazardous or vibration-intense environments. It detects rotating elements such as starter rings or bolt heads and produces an electrical signal without requiring a power supply.
In classified or ignition-sensitive areas, the 8017 is often incorporated into protection systems that include AMOT’s diesel engine safety parts, enabling RPM-triggered shutdown capability without compromising hazardous-area requirements. The sensor is also compatible with AMOT engine speed switches, supplying the signal input needed for reliable overspeed detection in challenging conditions.
