PCA-116 Series Gage Heads Economy gage head AC operation 0.0001 inch [2.5 micron] repeatability Stroke ranges up to 0.30 inch [7.6mm] Replaceable hardened tool steel contact tip Compatible with all our signal conditioners DESCRIPTION The PCA-116 Series gage heads were developed to serve less demanding applications, where the balance between price and performance is paramount. Incorporating a standard LVDT (Linear Variable Differential Transformer), low friction nylon sleeve bearings and an externally spring loaded shaft, the PCA-166 affords the most cost effective gaging solution available. Other features include industry standard outer diameter for easy installation, and a replaceable hardened tool steel contact tip using the 4-48 UNF-2 threads. Measurement Specialties, Inc. (NASDAQ MEAS) offers many other types of sensors and signal conditioners.
