About the PCA-375 Series - Gage Heads
The PCA-375 Series gage heads combine simplicity with the time proven reliability of LVDT (Linear Variable Differential Transformer) technology resulting in a cost effective, long stroke industrial gaging solution. The rugged PCA-375 was specifically designed for operation in harsher industrial environments with minimal available installation space. Measuring just 0.375 inch [9.5mm] in diameter the PCA-375 affords non-intrusive, slim profile measurements, making it the perfect choice for high density fixtures as well as numerous other industrial applications.
Externally, the PCA-375 is constructed entirely of 300 and 400 Series stainless steel, with a field replaceable chrome plated hardened tool steel contact tip. Electrical termination is via a 2 meter long, shielded, 6 conductor polyurethane jacketed cable. Internally, the simplified one-piece plunger and the precision brass bushing construction increases long term reliability, while the heavy duty return spring insures adequate force to repeatedly extend the plunger.
Designed to service long life cycle applications in the industrial market place, the PCA-375 is ideal for foundries, metal joining operations, process control, or wherever environmentally challenging high reliability gaging is required.
The PCA-375 series can be installed in your application with standard AGD dial indicator mounting hardware.
Applications for PCA-375 Series
- High Density Gaging Fixtures
- Factory Floor SPC Applications
- Process Control
- Metal Joining Equipment
- Pressing Applications
- Steel Rolling Mills / Foundries
