Built with rugged components and tested for tough job-site environments, this cable supports consistent performance whether you’re operating a motor grader, dozer, or any machine equipped with a Topcon control setup.
This specific model comes with an 8-pin Amphenol connector on one end and a 10-socket straight Amphenol connector on the other, giving it perfect compatibility with a wide range of Topcon rotation and blade sensor setups. With a 7-foot length, it offers the right balance of reach and compactness, helping installers route it cleanly along the machine frame without excessive slack or tension.
What the Rotation Sensor to Blade Sensor 9060-5028-MCS Does
This cable is responsible for transmitting data signals between the machine’s rotation sensor and its blade sensor. Both sensors are crucial parts of the grading system, allowing the machine to know its blade position, tilt, rotation, and movement in real time.
The grader blade and rotation sensors continuously measure:
- Blade angle
- Blade height
- Rotation position
- Surface interaction
- Grading adjustments
The 9060-5028-MCS cable ensures those measurements reach the control box accurately.
A damaged, loose, or poor-quality cable can cause:
- Incorrect blade readings
- Calibration issues
- Grading errors
- System warnings or shutdowns
- Reduced accuracy in automated control modes
That’s why the right cable matters. The Rotation Sensor to Blade Sensor 9060-5028-MCS ensures smooth information flow so the machine control system can deliver the precise results operators expect.
