Spring push or pneumatic operation
IP65 protection
Large selection of contact tips
3D drawings available
High degree of servicable parts
Very high resolution and gauge R&R at <0.1 µm maintained without degradation over millions of measuring
cycles is the hallmark of Solartron analogue gauging flexures.
Analogue flexures are the ideal solution for high precision/ high volume post process or in process gauging
applications where cycle time is short and high throughput would shorten the life of a conventional pencil probe.
There are no sliding parts to wear out or to cause friction within the frame or sensor which makes Solartron
flexures virtually free from hysteresis.
Flexures can be mounted such that there is little or no stress through the gauge centre line and enabling precision
profiling of moving material, such as sheet material or rotating shafts, brake discs etc.
The flexure gauge has forward and reverse spring action with a pneumatically actuated version available for
automatic measurements. It is supplied in analogue form for plugging into most standard amplifiers. For improved
performance Solartron recommends the Digital Flexure use with the Orbit® Digital Measurement System.
The tool mounting assembly can be variously adjusted along the gauge’s length and fixed with M3 bolts. A
selection of tips is offered to suit each application. The unique design offers a high degree of factory serviceable
parts, providing a low cost repair which in turn reduces the cost of ownership to the end customer.
