CT-101 Screw-type Temperature Probe

Easy-to-install, quick-to-measure wire-type temperature sensor.

The CT-101 is a common screw-type wire-guided temperature sensor, widely used for temperature monitoring in automated equipment, control boxes, metal surfaces, pipe walls, and machine tools. It features easy installation, rapid response, and compact size, making it suitable for efficient on-site temperature detection.

Description

The CT-101 features a screw-type design, allowing for direct screwing into equipment surfaces or holes for quick and easy installation. It is suitable for applications with limited space or where secure mounting of the sensing point to a metal surface or structural component is required. A variety of sensing elements are available to suit diverse industrial environments and measurement needs.
