Eddy-Current Sensor Probes;
Mechanical Detail

Three different body styles provide different mounting schemes.
A - smallest physcial size, requires gentle clamp mounting
B - threaded body is mounted with two nuts or a threaded hole and one nut
C - smooth steel body is clamp or set-screw mounted
Custom probes can be designed specifically for you application. Call us.

A - Core Unit

"A" probes feature the smallest physical size. They are just the sensing coil in closed in a PEEK pottiing material. They must be gently clamped in place. Set-screw mounting is not recommended.

U12A	10.0	0.39	15.0	0.59
U18A	15.8	0.62	16.0	0.63

 

B - Threaded Body

"B" probes have threaded bodies for mounting in threaded or thru-holes with one or two mounting nuts.
