OKO-NDT 45° Angle Shaft Surface Eddy Current Probe - 500 kHz (Fe/NFe)

Achieve highly precise surface crack detection on angled geometries and in challenging access areas with this specialized OKO-NDT 45° Angle Shaft Surface Eddy Current Probe. Expertly designed for versatile NDT applications, this probe features a precision 45-degree angled tip, a high-resolution small diameter, and a versatile 500 kHz operating frequency, making it an indispensable tool for inspecting weld toes, fillets, corners, and other areas where traditional straight probes are impractical. It is compatible with both ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Precision 45° Angled Tip: The unique 45-degree angle of the probe shaft and tip allows for superior access to critical inspection points such as weld toes, internal corners, chamfers, and angled surfaces, significantly enhancing inspection capabilities in complex component geometries.

• High Resolution (4.5mm Tip Diameter): The small 4.5mm diameter of the active sensing element provides exceptional resolution, enabling the detection and accurate characterization of very fine, surface-breaking cracks and discontinuities.

• Short Drop Length (6.4mm): With a compact 6.4mm drop length from the bend, this probe is optimized for inspecting shallow recesses, tight radii, and areas requiring minimal insertion depth, offering precise positioning.

• Versatile 500 kHz Operating Frequency: Operating at 500 kHz, this probe offers a balanced approach to eddy current inspection. It provides excellent sensitivity to shallow surface and near-surface defects while maintaining a suitable depth of penetration for various applications in different materials.

• Broad Material Compatibility (Fe/NFe): Designed for use on a wide range of conductive materials, including both ferrous (e.g., steels, cast iron) and non-ferrous (e.g., aluminum, titanium, copper alloys), making it highly versatile across numerous industries.

• Optimized Coil Design (Single / Single Shielded, Bridge Type):

  • Single Coil: Typically provides absolute measurements, good for detecting localized flaws and material property changes.

  • Single Shielded: Helps to focus the eddy current field, improving resolution and reducing lift-off noise, leading to cleaner signals.

  • Bridge Type: Refers to the robust electrical configuration, contributing to probe stability and sensitivity, ensuring reliable readings.

• Ergonomic Probe Length (105mm): The overall 105mm probe length offers a comfortable grip and precise control for manual scanning, reducing operator fatigue during prolonged inspections.

• High Sensitivity to Surface Discontinuities: Eddy current technology excels at detecting surface and near-surface cracks, corrosion, and material property variations, making this probe a vital tool for quality assurance and in-service inspection.

• Standardized Connectivity: Equipped with a Triax Lemo/Fischer connector, ensuring broad compatibility with a wide range of industry-standard eddy current flaw detectors.

• Manufacturer: A product of OKO-NDT, a reputable manufacturer known for its high-quality NDT instrumentation and probes.
