Frequently asked questions
Answers to the most common questions about our products and services
CSG measures both sides and uses two distances to determine gap width. CSF measures one side and suits a fixed reference side or suitable portable measurement.
No. Measuring span and insertion clearance are different. The table specifies a required gap width of at least 0.9 mm; check the model geometry.
No. Certain model columns distinguish sensor and cable limits. Select for both limits of the exact model, not a family maximum.
Mount the appropriate section outside the gap, with the flexible part extending into it. Model-specific mounting uses surface clamping or M3 screws.
The manufacturer also describes an MD6-22 portable-controller arrangement with manual insertion. This differs from mounting for continuous measurement.
