Applications

The NorthStar NRTK Wheel and Sensor Upgrade Kits allow easy transition of legacy NorthStar RIM Tach 8500 and 1250 models into next generation NorthStar RT8 and RT1 magnetic encoders. The next generation sensors offer wider sensor to wheel air gap allowing for easy installation and alignment. The wider air gap also translates into improved durability and long term performance. The next generation wheel offers protective magnetic edge guards which also improves the durability of the pulse wheel.
