Product Overview

Versa Controls standard inductive pencil (gauging) probes provide a cost-effective solution for a wide range of measuring and positioning applications. Available in three actuation configurations—Spring Actuation (AX/S), Pneumatic Push (AX/P), and Jet Push (AJ/P)—these contact gauge probes are designed for integration into inspection fixtures and measurement setups.

Key Features & Capabilities

AX/S – Spring Actuation (Spring Push)

Tip is pushed out using an internal spring for conventional pencil probe operation
Standard tip force of 0.7 N (with options available)
IP65 sealing (fully sealed options available)
Excellent sideload capability
Available in LVDT or Half Bridge options

AX/P – Pneumatic Push

Allows for reduced part counts in fixtures and supports fast automatic loading of parts
Mechanical movement of 10 mm with a calibrated range of ±1 mm at the beginning of movement (e.g., AX/5/1)
Tip force of 0.7 N (options available)
IP65 sealing (fully sealed options available)
Vacuum retract options available

AJ/P – Jet Push

Actuation powered by an inbuilt piston
High tip forces available; air is vented through a port close to the front of the probe
IP50 sealing rating
Operates continuously even if the gaiter is damaged or punctured
