Woodward 8237-861
- Product Name: Speed Sensor / Magnetic Pickup (MPU)
- Product Description: A rugged magnetic pickup sensor for detecting engine/turbine speed. It generates an AC voltage signal proportional to rotational speed, used by Woodward governors and controllers for closed‑loop speed regulation.
- Technical Specifications:
- Output Signal: AC voltage (1–30 VAC RMS, 50–15,000 Hz)
