PK15I - 150 kHz AE Sensor with Low-Power Integral Preamp

The PK15I sensor is a medium frequency, resonant, acoustic emission sensor with an integral, ultra low noise, low power, filtered, 26dB preamplifier, which can drive up to 200 meters of cable. This new sensor represents an improvement in both noise and low power consumption performance, with noise level below 3 µV and power consumption of 25 mW. The PK15I features a strong stainless steel, integrated body structure. The sensor is smaller size and the same frequency response as the R15I sensor. The integrated Auto Sensor Test (AST*) capability allows these sensors to pulse as well as receive. This feature lets you verify the sensor coupling and performance at any time before, during or after the test.
