The flex armor bayonet tip sensitive RTD probe sensor is a temperature sensor with the sensing element encased in a copper alloy tip.
The Copper alloy tip is attached to a flex armor sheath to allow for increased accuracy and sensitivity to temperature changes at the point of contact in bearings. The design also provides great mounting flexibility, the bayonet adaptor allows for a simple and inexpensive spring loaded installation option. The sensor is ideal for applications with solids, it is not for use in fluid applications. The sensor comes standard with a 1/8” NPT mounting adaptor for ease of locking the sensor in place. The bayonet holder is fully adjustable over the entire specified ‘L’ or immersion length

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is an RTD?
A: An RTD (Resistance Temperature Detector) is a sensor whose resistance changes as its temperature changes. The resistance increases as the temperature of the sensor increases. The resistance versus temperature relationship is well known and is repeatable over time. An RTD is a passive device. It does not produce an output on its own. External electronic devices are used to measure the resistance of the sensor by passing a small electrical current through the sensor to generate a voltage.
