Overview The Thermo Scientific Model 61-12N-64P Speed Sensor is designed and constructed for direct connection to a conveyor tail pulley, snugging roll, or large diameter return roller. The speed sensor employs an optical pulse generator producing a stream of pulses, each pulse representing a unit of belt travel.
Storage The Model 61-12N-64P Speed Sensor can be safely stored indoors, between -50 and +85 degrees C (-58 to +185 degrees F). The unit must be protected against moisture. Specifications...
Thread in supplied stub shaft coupling (part #037711) so that coupling collar bottoms out against tail pulley or snubbing shaft. See Figure 2. Insert 61-12N-64P speed sensor into coupling. Be sure to align shaft flat spots with set screws on coupling. Tighten all set screws securely.
It would be advisable to provide two flat surfaces, 90º apart, on the stub shaft for a good set screw holding power. Note: If possible, weld coupling to tail pulley shaft. Do not weld to any part of 61-12N-64P speed sensor. Align shaft flat spots with set screws on coupling. See Figure 3. Tighten all set screws securely.
Note: The pu pose of this ou ti g a a ge e t is to allo the speed se so to float a d a o odate any slight misalignment of the coupling. Therefore, no resultant bearing stress is applied due to misalignment, ill a slight o le of the de i e esult i ele t i al e o s.

Install 1/2 inch flexible conduit to the speed sensor housing. For 61-12N-64P use Belden 8772 or equivalent, 3 conductor, 20 AWG, shielded. Maximum distance is 500 feet (150 meters). For distances of 500 to 3000 feet (150-915 meters), use Belden #1036A or equivalent, 3 conductor, 18 AWG shielded.
Figure 7. 61-12N-64P Output Voltage Waveform Model 61-12N-64P The 61-12N-64P has a 64 pulse per revolution optical encoder and can be used for speeds from 0 to 350 RPM. The output of the 61-12N- P is a ope -d ai t pe, hi h e ui es a e te al pull-up resistance.
