Eddy current flaw detector 9213423

for aeronautics

Overview
Pencil surface probes are detachable stainless-steel shaft probes with an adjustable collar to set the inspection angle and improve stability. They incorporate small-diameter housings and small coils optimized for higher-frequency eddy-current inspection and are typically used for detecting surface-breaking cracks and small defects in aerospace structures.

Advantages

• High sensitivity to small, surface-breaking defects.
• Stable contact on flat and slightly curved surfaces thanks to the adjustable collar.
• Available with Powerlink™ connector options for simplified cabling.
• Wide selection of frequency ranges to match inspection targets.
• Multiple coil configurations (reflection, absolute, bridge) to suit detection and resolution needs.

Applications

• Through-paint inspection of aircraft rivets and fasteners.
• Aircraft structure, component and engine surface crack inspection.
• Detection of stress corrosion cracking in painted stainless and carbon steels.
• Surface crack inspection on manufacturing and transportation equipment related to aerospace maintenance and production.

Reflection Differential
Reflection type probes

• Also known as send‑receive or driver‑pickup probes
• Excellent for small, localized defects such as fatigue cracking.
• Lower drift compared with bridge probes and directional sensitivity.
• Driver and pickup coils can be optimized independently, enabling a wider usable frequency range.
• Good resistance to temperature variations.

Absolute Bridge
Absolute bridge type probes

• Internal reference coils provide optimized matching to the test coil when used with Triax (Fisher) or Powerlink™ connectors.
• Shielded coil variants deliver higher resolution for fine crack detection.
• Omnidirectional crack detection capability.
• Commonly used, cost-effective probe type for routine inspections.

Reflection Absolute
Reflection type probes

• Also known as send‑receive or driver‑pickup probes
• Response similar to absolute bridge probes with options for stacked or concentric driver/pickup coils.
• Operates over a wide frequency range and resists temperature variations.
• Enables crack detection in all directions depending on coil configuration.

Bridge Differential
Bridge differential probe

• Designed for small defect detection with directional sensitivity.
• Provides clear, stable signals for differential measurement setups.

Available variants and connectors

• Frequency coverage across models: 100 kHz up to 6 MHz with multiple tuned ranges to match applications.
• Shielding options: shielded (higher resolution) and unshielded variants.
• Connector types: Triax (Fisher) or Powerlink™ depending on model and cable requirements.
• Many part IDs and item numbers correspond to specific coil, shielding and connector combinations (refer to variant tables for exact references).
