Description
M6/M8 Threaded Bolt K-Type Thermocouple (Model AKES-M8) is designed for accurate temperature measurement in industrial equipment with metric threaded mounting points. Featuring a Simplex K-Type thermocouple, an SS316 stainless steel sheath, and M6 or M8 bolt-thread connections, it provides secure installation without requiring additional adapters or modifications.
With a temperature range of 0°C to +250°C, this thermocouple is suitable for machinery, process piping, tanks, vessels, and industrial equipment where reliable bolt-mounted temperature sensing is required. The threaded connection helps maintain stable positioning and can support leak-resistant installations when used with appropriate sealing arrangements.
The sensor is supplied with a 3-meter FG/FG/SS insulated cable for durability in industrial environments and can be customized with different probe lengths, thread sizes, sheath materials, and cable lengths to suit specific process requirements.
Key Features
-
Integrated M6 / M8 Metric Thread Connection Fits directly into standard tapped metric ports on machinery, gearboxes, pumps, and engine blocks without extra adapters.
-
Direct Surface & Fluid Contact Threaded bolt design ensures tight metal-to-metal thermal seating against internal surfaces for rapid heat transfer and fast response times.
-
Corrosion-Resistant SS316 Construction (0°C to 250°C) High-grade stainless steel body resists oxidation, lubricating oils, mild hydraulic fluids, and industrial chemical splash.
-
Rugged Armored Cable (3-Meter FG/FG/SS) High-temperature fiberglass internal conductor insulation shielded by an outer stainless steel wire braid prevents wire fraying and heat degradation.
-
Vibration-Proof Mechanical Attachment Threaded screw-in installation prevents sensor loosening or backing out in high-vibration machinery and pumping systems.
-
High-Sensitivity K-Type Calibration Chromel-Alumel thermoelectric junction provides dependable millivolt signal output compatible with PLCs, PID controllers, and temperature indicators.
