The STARC series comprises single crystal normal beam compression wave contact transducers engineered with a hard ceramic wear face for prolonged service life. Built with circular lead zirconate titanate crystals, these single-element transducers deliver high acoustic sensitivity and reliable sound penetration for general-purpose straight-beam ultrasonic testing.
Single Normal Beam Design: Dedicated 0° compression wave contact transducer for straight-beam testing.
Lead Zirconate Titanate Crystal: Utilises a circular crystal element to ensure uniform acoustic radiation and strong signal penetration.
Hard Ceramic Wear Face: Delivers exceptional abrasion resistance on rough specimen surfaces to maximize transducer longevity.
Operating Temperature: Suitable for testing environments with a maximum operating temperature of 50°C (120°F).
Side-Entry Connectors: Designed with side-positioned LEMO 00 (Z) or Subvis (S) connectors for low-profile operational clearance.
