Magnetic Pickups

MP3298, MP 7905 & MP7906

A magnetic pickup is an AC generator. It is normally installed into the flywheel housing of an internal combustion engine, so that the starter ring gear acts upon it to generate a voltage pulse each time a gear tooth passes the end of the sensor.

Available mag pickup models:

  • MP3298
