VR-9000 Single and Dual Speed Sensors

DESCRIPTION: (top)

  • Rugged, economically priced, single and dual-output vehicle speed sensors that are ideal for most heavy-duty applications
  • 11 standard models and five popular electrical "matches" (ohms/resistance)
  • Standard SAE 3/4" x 16 thread-mounting in three lengths: 2.35", 2.70" and 3.00"
  • Direct replacement with easy screw-in installation (with jam nut) and two-wire hook-up
  • Best-in class sealing (submersible construction) protects unit from harmful liquid intrusion
  • Self-generating electrical signal, no power supply required
  • Highly accurate sensor output
  • Superior high-temperature and thermal shock resistance
  • Dual-output for 3.00" version only
