Often used where it’d be difficult to mount a standard probe, these probes stick onto magnetic surfaces to take temperature readings. They have a magnet that holds them firmly in place on motors, bearings, and other surfaces. A spring behind the probe protects the cable from strain that could cause it to fray or break. Pick the thermocouple type that best covers the temperature range you expect your surface to be. You should also make sure the thermocouple type you choose is compatible with the devices you plan to connect it to. They’re often used with temperature controllers, thermometers, and other temperature-reading devices.

Probes with wire leads offer more flexibility than probes with connectors already attached because you can either wire them to a terminal block or add your own connector. For installation, note that the red wire is negative.

Spring-loaded probes help keep readings accurate by making sure the tip stays in constant contact with the surface you're measuring. These probes are manufactured to conform to ASTM E230 for accuracy. Accuracy is how far off the reported value is from the actual temperature.

Measure temperatures around your facility by sticking these probes onto magnetic surfaces. They come attached to a cable that's ready to plug into a handheld thermometer. The handle provides a comfortable grip as you move from spot to spot. It also keeps your hands at a safe distance from hot surfaces as you use the probe. Thanks to their high-strength magnet, they'll stay firmly in place even in high-vibration spots, like on motors and bearings. For accurate readings, a spring pushes the probe tip forward, keeping the tip in constant contact with the surface you're measuring.

Keep machinery running smoothly by monitoring its health and status from your computer. Often used with electric motors, pumps, and lathes, these kits measure changes in vibration and temperature—identifying equipment problems and potential failures before they occur. Plug in the sensor, set your thresholds, and view data directly on your screen. You’ll also receive email notifications when vibrations move beyond your specified range, making them good for preventative maintenance. These sensors are 20 times faster than our other vibration monitors, and they don’t require devices such as programmable logic controllers (PLCs) to operate.

Sensors mount directly to your equipment. Use the magnetic base for quick installation, or use the threaded hole for a more permanent setup. Once the sensor is hooked up, you can either wire it directly to the receiver or connect it to the wireless transmitter to view data remotely.

Kits with a USB connection link only to your computer for direct and easy monitoring.

Kits with an Ethernet connection can be configured to a wider network, transmit data over longer runs of cable, and integrate into other automated systems, such as a PLC.
