Protection from exposure to high magnetic field requires non-magnetic materials. By jacketing the fiberoptic cable in non-metallic materials, and by constructing the sensor tip from non-metallic or non-magnetic materials, PHILTEC sensors can be configured to perform measurements in very high magnetic fields. Successful applications to 12 Tesla have been made. PHILTEC recently delivered this sensor: … Continue reading
PHILTEC presents a short video that highlights their standard and customized sensors. PHILTEC engineers typically insert/install these devices into equipment or machinery that may present extreme conditions to the probes. Most applications require some customization of the probes and fiber optic cables. PHILTEC engineers optimize custom sensor designs to achieve best performance in their application. … Continue reading

PHILTEC has recently added a new vibration-proof, in-line, wrench-tight connector (Option B2) to their suite of cable connector options. This connector works well for probes and fiber cables exposed to high vibration levels. To request more information or a quotation for this or other PHILTEC products, contact IL Photonics… Continue reading
Problem Quartz fibers have excellent transmission over long lengths, but they are very expensive, so usually cost prohibitive. A customer recently asked for a model D171 sensor with 45-meter length for displacement measurements in vacuum and high magnetic field. Solution PHILTEC devised a 3-piece cost saving system, where only 10% of the model D171 probe … Continue reading
Where it is desirable to separate the sensor electronics from the measuring probes, fiber optic cables can be connectorized using PHILTEC’s simple knurled finger tight design. Some reasons for connectorized fiber optic cables: Easy replacement of damaged tips Substitution of alternate tips Removal of electronics from machinery without removing sensor tips Interchangeability of different tips … Continue reading
