Switch test probe PKS - series

pneumatic

Pneumatic test probes (PKS) are used in many industries and a multitude of applications. These include individual contacting of single test points, activation of switches, contacting of difficult-to-access test points, or creation of interface blocks. A big advantage is that individual contact points can be contacted without the need for a complete test fixture. Pneumatic test probes are operated by pressurised air. In the home position the plunger is inside the barrel and is moved outwards when pressurised air is applied. The spring inside returns the plunger back to the home position after the pressurised air is removed. In contrast to standard test probes (GKS), the further the plunger is extended, the lower the contact force on the probe is - the spring force of the recoil spring works against this.
