Milltronics MD-36 Speed Sensor The Milltronics MD-36 is a general purpose and hazardous rated speed sensor. The sensor, coupled to the motor or pulley shaft, converts the rotation of its input shaft into an encoded speed signal. The speed signal is transmitted to the integrating electronics for use in calculating the rate of material flow.

As the target moves closer to the sensor, the energy required from the oscillator increases. The IS switch isolator monitors the change in the oscillator load, triggering the output when a predetermined level is reached. 7ML19985DB01 Milltronics MD-36 Speed Sensor – INSTRUCTION MANUAL Page 7...

Notes: • When tail or bend pulley is not supplied by Siemens Milltronics, machining on tail/ Pulley Shaft bend pulley shaft (see above) to accommodate Milltronics speed sensor is done by customer. • Arresting bracket is an anti-rotation device only and must not secure or support the speed sensor.
