Frequently asked questions
Answers to the most common questions about our products and services
CSH is a high-precision cylindrical capacitive head with an integral cable. Separate models specify nominal spans of 0.2, 0.5, 1, 1.2 and 2 mm.
Specifications reference the recommended circumferential clamping position, tabulated 3 mm behind the measuring face. Follow the model installation instructions.
The series table specifies an integral standard 1.4 m cable with a type B connector. Extensions or length changes must suit the measurement configuration.
Add head and controller linearity contributions as instructed. Check resolution and target size separately under their specified test conditions.
Housing diameter does not establish suitability. Each span has a recommended flat-target size separate from active measuring area.
