C-Clamp Encoder
Versatile Waterproof Wheel Encoder
The C-Clamp Encoder is a
universal accessory for single
axis inspections requiring no
tools for setup and operation.
The two clamping arms adjust
up to 55mm separation to
fit around a broad range of
ultrasonic transducers and
phased array wedges.
C-Clamp Encoder with phased array probe and wedge
Features
Clamp width: Max opening 55mm
Encoder wheel diameter: 39mm
Encoder Resolution: 33 steps/mm
Waterproof: IP68 rated
(immersion up to 1m)
Adjustable encoder spring-loaded
Can be positioned at 0 & 90
(for B & D scans)
Termination options available for any
manufacturers instrumentation
C-Clamp with rear mounted encoder and phased
array probe and wedge
The C-Clamp Encoder arms can be quickly adjusted to the
transducer or wedge width and then locked and clamped with
thumbscrews. The waterproof wheel encoder is then fitted either
behind or alongside the clamp dependent upon the inspection
needs. The encoder is spring loaded onto the surface with the
spring tension adjustable via the attachment thumb screw.
This simple and versatile encoding device is ideal for single-axis
manual phased array inspections including:
Pipe and vessel welds
Bolt hole crack detection
Linear array corrosion mapping
B and D scans
