Suitable for plastics machinery and general purpose applications, these heavy duty bayonet sensors are supplied with a 200mm spring on which an industry standard one slot adjustable bayonet cap fitting is screwed onto for fine positioning on site. These assemblies are available in thermocouple types K, T, J, N and E and the sensing tip is incorporated within an 18mm long x 4.7, 6.0 or 8.0mm diameter (specify as d1) tube which the stainless steel braided leads are sealed into. This heavy duty version incorporates a flexible stainles steel armoured cable providing increased mechanical protection in arduous environments.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a thermocouple and how does it work?
A thermocouple is a type of temperature sensor that generates a voltage when two different metals are joined at one end and exposed to a temperature difference between the "hot" junction (where the temperature is measured) and the "cold" junction (the reference point). This voltage is then measured to determine the temperature at the hot junction. - How do I choose the right thermocouple for my application?
The ideal thermocouple depends on factors such as temperature range, accuracy, termination type, mounting requirements and environmental conditions. We offer a variety of thermocouples with different sheath materials, constructions, terminations, and temperature ratings to meet your needs. If you need specific advice, our engineers are happy to assist! - What is the maximum temperature rating of your thermocouples?
Our thermocouples are designed to handle a wide range of temperatures with some mineral insulated thermocouples able to withstand temperatures up to 1400ºC and ceramic sheathed thermocouples going even higher to 1600ºC. Each product listing includes the maximum temperature rating, so you can choose the best thermocouple for your application.
