Bayonet caps & springs

A bayonet connection on a thermocouple involves a spring-loaded mechanism designed for secure and easy installation. This secure connection prevents the thermocouple from loosening, ensuring consistent temperature readings. The bayonet design also allows for quick and easy removal when needed.

Product summary

  • Quick and easy installation
  • Secure and reliable fit
  • Adjustable spring tension
  • Durable and robust

Separately or in combined assembly

The thermocouple is fitted with a bayonet cap that contains a coiled bayonet spring, allowing for adjustable tension. To connect, the bayonet cap is aligned with a matching socket or bracket on the mounting surface. The thermocouple is then pushed into the socket until the cap makes contact. A simple quarter-turn in the bayonet thread twist locks the cap in place, compressing the spring and ensuring firm contact between the thermocouple tip and the surface being measured.

The mentioned components can be ordered separately, or in combined assembly for direct use.

Bayonet cap

The cap in a bayonet connection secures the thermocouple in place, ensuring it stays attached and maintains accurate temperature readings. It provides a reliable electrical connection, applies necessary pressure through a spring mechanism for optimal thermal contact, and allows for quick installation and removal. Additionally, it helps protect the thermocouple from damage and environmental factors.

Bayonet spring

The spring in a bayonet connection applies pressure to the thermocouple, ensuring a tight and stable contact with the measurement surface. This pressure maintains accurate temperature readings and secures the thermocouple in place, preventing movement and ensuring reliable performance.

Bayonet thread

The thread in a bayonet connection allows for the secure attachment and locking of the bayonet cap to the socket. It ensures a firm, stable connection by engaging with corresponding threads in the socket, which prevents the thermocouple from loosening or shifting during operation.
