Philtec Fiber Optic sensors can make displacement measurements inside of mechanisms, machinery and vacuum chambers. To gain access to the measurement locations, Fiber Optic cables may be connectorized for the probe tips to be separated from the electronics. In some complex applications, more than one joint may be required for the installation and removal of the sensor systems. An illustration shows sensor configurations with as many as four parts that have been made and are available for some of Philtec’s sensor products. Contact our application engineering team to see if one of these systems can work for you…sales@philtec.com

Fiber Optic Cable Configurations
2 TESLA EXPOSURE
Magnetic Field Exposure 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.
We recently delivered this sensor; a model D20 high-frequency sensor for 2 Tesla exposure.
Vibration Proof Connectors
For applications where probes and fiber cables are exposed to high vibration levels, we recommend use of a wrench tight connector to make the connection vibration proof.
CONNECTORIZED SENSORS
Where it is desirable to be able to separate the sensor electronics from the measuring probes, fiber optic cables can be connectorized using a simple knurled finger tight design. And damaged tips can easily be replaced.
There are other reasons why the cable could be connectorized:
- Different tips such as straight or 90° of the same model can be interchanged
- Cable lengths can be extended beyond standard limitations
- A UHV passthru fitting can be added to the sensor system
- Different cable jacket materials can be used for vacuum and ambient sides
