IP67 Industrial Speed Sensor Module | 5462-408 Woodward

Product Overview

The 5462-408 (Model: 5462-408) is a high-precision digital speed sensor module engineered by Woodward for demanding industrial motion monitoring. This module is a critical component in the speed control chain, responsible for converting the mechanical rotational frequency of shafts or gears into a high-fidelity digital electrical signal. It is specifically designed to interface with Woodward governor systems, PLCs, and Distributed Control Systems (DCS) where deterministic speed feedback is required for safety and synchronization.

Constructed for longevity in extreme environments, the 5462-408 (Part Number: 5462-408) features a ruggedized enclosure and a sealed Eurofast-style connector interface. These features ensure that the signal remains uncorrupted by oil, moisture, or electromagnetic interference (EMI) commonly found in turbine decks and engine rooms. Although currently categorized as a legacy part, it remains a standard requirement for the maintenance and repair of global prime mover control infrastructures.
