ECA110 Eddy-Current Sensor: Probes and Ranges
Probe model numbers are specified by their diameter and body style: i.e. a U8C probe has an 8mm diameter and a "C" body style.
Probe diameter determines the range.
Larger Diameter = Larger Range
See the probe page for mechanical details, important mounting clearances, and temperature limits.
Probes can be ordered as vacuum compatible.
Ranges
Specifications assume a target at least 3 times the diameter of the probe.
A specific range will require a particular probe size/model.
Custom ranges are always available.
