Eddy current flaw detector

for aeronautics

Overview
Bent-shaft surface probes are stainless-steel eddy-current probes designed for surface and near-surface crack detection on conductive materials. They provide access to recessed or angled inspection areas and are offered in a variety of diameters, shaft lengths and coil configurations to suit different inspection requirements.

Applications

• Surface and near-surface defect detection on metals
• Inspection of welds, fastener holes, thin sections and aerospace components
• Field and laboratory eddy-current testing where angled access is required

Key features

• Stainless-steel bent shaft for durability and access to confined geometries
• Multiple coil options for sensitivity vs. resolution trade-offs
• Available in several diameters and shaft lengths to match probe footprint and reach
• Compatible with standard eddy-current instruments and connector types

Technical considerations

• Select coil geometry based on expected defect size and lift-off tolerance
• Choose shaft bend angle and length to optimize access and ergonomics
• Consider cable length and connector type to preserve signal integrity in the inspection setup

Ordering information

• When ordering, specify probe diameter, coil configuration, shaft length and bend orientation
• Contact your distributor or the manufacturer for calibration, custom coils or special connector options
