Feather Touch Probes are designed specifically for applications where low tip forces are critical. Air is vented through the shroud at the front of the probe during actuation, which in turn cleans the bearing. With no gaiter to protect the shaft from contamination they are unsuitable for use in wet or oily conditions.
J’ Type probes are similar to Standard Pneumatic Probes except that actuation is by an inbuilt piston.
High tip forces are available but as air is vented through a port close to the front of the probe, they have a lower IP rating.
The Standard range of Pneumatic Probes comes with an IP65 rating to ensure a long working life in wet or oily environments. In order to ensure the probe is totally sealed to IP65, actuation is achieved by pressurising the gaiter.
The standard AX range of Spring Push Probes has justifiably become the workhorse of the gauging industry. Very high resolution, excellent linearity and flexible measurement range is standard. Long life precision bearings, and an IP65 rating ensures that probes maintain their performance for millions of cycles.
With very low tip forces coupled with user selectable options of high resolution and repeatability, Feather Touch Probes are ideal for the gauging of delicate high precision components. Long life bearings ensure that the performance of the probes are maintained through millions of cycles in industries producing high volumes of components on short cycle times.

Ultra Light probes are similar to Feather Touch probes except they have significantly lower moving mass and are capable of tip forces as low as 0.03N.
