The Wacker Neuson 5100036720 is a genuine OEM Magnetic Pickup Sensor designed for the APT6S, APT6T, APT8S, and APT8T series submersible pump models, including standard, electric brake, surge brake, and cold weather configurations. As a factory-sourced component, it meets the exact output and sensitivity specifications required by the pump's control system — no guesswork on compatibility. This sensor fits across the full APT6 and APT8 family, covering skid-mount and trailer-mount variants alike, making it a reliable stock item for operators running multiple units on site.
Key Features
- Factory-Matched Signal Output: — Calibrated to the precise magnetic field sensitivity required by the APT pump control system, ensuring accurate speed sensing without signal drift or false readings.
- Genuine OEM Component: — Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this sensor carries the same part number and build specification as the unit installed at the factory.
- Broad APT Family Fitment: — Compatible with APT6S, APT6T, APT8S, and APT8T pumps across standard, surge brake, electric brake, and cold weather variants — both skid and trailer configurations.
- Protects Pump Operation: — A functioning magnetic pickup sensor keeps the control system accurately informed of pump speed; a failed sensor can cause incorrect speed readings, control faults, or unplanned shutdowns mid-operation.
- Direct Drop-In Replacement: — Matches the original mounting interface and connector, allowing straightforward installation without modification to wiring or mounting hardware.
A magnetic pickup sensor generates an electrical signal by detecting the rotation of a toothed or magnetic target wheel as it spins past the sensor tip. In the APT pump series, this signal is fed to the pump's control unit to monitor rotational speed and confirm correct operation. When the sensor wears, becomes contaminated, or fails, the control system loses accurate speed data — which can trigger fault codes, erratic pump behavior, or a complete shutdown. Replacing a faulty sensor with the correct OEM part restores accurate monitoring and keeps the pump running within its intended operating parameters.
