The PCA-375-PR 020 gage head embodies an ultra-compact design, optimized for precise measurement tasks in limited spaces. With a diameter of just 0.375 inches (9.5mm) and featuring a radial cable exit, this device is engineered to fit snugly within miniature fixtures and tight internal diameters. The device leverages the proven accuracy of Linear Variable Differential Transformer (LVDT) technology for non-intrusive measurements, ensuring its suitability for a wide array of industrial applications, particularly where space is at a premium.
Constructed from 300 Series stainless steel and equipped with a field-replaceable, chrome-plated, hardened tool steel contact tip, the PCA-375-PR 020 ensures durability and longevity. Its internal components, including a permanently lubricated bronze bearing and plunger assembly, are designed for consistent long-term performance. The device connects via a 2-meter-long, 6-conductor, shielded polyurethane jacketed cable, offering robustness and ease of integration.
The LVDT windings of the PCA-375-PR 020 are vacuum impregnated with a specially formulated high-temperature, flexible resin, and the coil assembly is encased within the housing with a two-component epoxy. This meticulous construction provides exceptional protection against adverse conditions like high humidity, vibration, and shock, making it a reliable choice for demanding environments.
With its compact size and high repeatability, the PCA-375-PR 020 is particularly well-suited for bore gages and other applications where space is restricted. It is compatible with standard AGD dial indicator mounting hardware, offering flexibility and ease of installation with optional pre-wired connectors and a selection of replaceable contact tips.
