R15a - 150 kHz General Purpose AE Sensor

The R15a is a narrow band resonant sensor with a high sensitivity. The sensor cavity is machined from a solid stainless steel rod, making the sensor extremely rugged and reliable. The ceramic face along with a 30 degree chamfer to cavity electrically isolates the sensor cavity from the structure under test assuring a low noise operation. The compact size of the sensor makes it readily suitable for deploying in tight spaces for monitoring. The Alpha series family of sensors features an SMA connector versus the Microdot connectors found on MISTRAS' RXX series of sensors. The alpha series includes R3a, R6a, R15a, R30a, R50a, R80a and WSa sensors.
