(NewTek: Pennsauken, NJ) -- NewTek Sensor Solutions introduces the MBB Series of ultra-precision dimensional gaging probes engineered for highly accurate and repeatable measurement of dimensional parameters in a variety of quality control, industrial metrology, and inspection equipment applications.

Offering excellent linearity, great precision, and infinite resolution, these spring-loaded AC LVDTs (linear variable differential transformers) are ideal for use in roundness measurements, automotive testing, metal component gaging, and materials testing.

The MBB Series gaging LVDT probes feature a stainless-steel probe assembly and 8 mm diameter housing protected to IP-65. High-precision linear ball bearings provide for smooth probe movement with excellent repeatability and without stiction. Incorporating a linear ball bearing assembly fitted to a nonrotating probe shaft, the MBB Series gaging probes produce an output voltage linearly proportional to the probe’s shaft position with minimal radial play. The use of an AC-operated LVDT for probe-shaft displacement reduces errors due to friction, resulting in a highly precise measurement of the position of a target surface.
