Minco’s Glass-on-Ceramic Wire-Wound RTD Elements offer unparalleled performance for a variety of demanding applications – now available with shorter lead times! Here’s why Glass-on-Ceramic is the superior choice:
Exceptional Durability
Glass-on-Ceramic RTD elements are highly robust, outperforming other RTD types in challenging environments.
- Every connection is fully encapsulated in glass, preventing movement in high-vibration and extreme shock situations (over 50 gRMS vibration and 750 g shock).
- Lead connections are securely anchored in glass to minimize stress concentrations, reducing the risk of breakage during assembly and operation.
Proven Reliability and Failure Avoidance
Wire-wound sensors are the industry standard in aviation, and Minco’s Glass-on-Ceramic elements are no exception.
- Our elements have accumulated millions of hours of operation in both commercial and military aviation.
- With over a century of industrial use, wire-wound sensors are a well-understood and dependable technology that helps avoid failures even in the most challenging environments.
Outstanding Stability and Predictability
Engineered for superior electrical performance, Minco’s Glass-on-Ceramic elements offer reliable stability and predictability.
- They feature a very low drift rate (inclusive drift ≤ 0.15% per year!) and exceptional thermal shock resistance (less than 0.05% change even under extreme thermal shock).
- Our sensors maintain strict adherence to IEC 60751 standards over a wide temperature range (-100 to +550 °C).
High Degree of Customization
Minco provides extensive customization options to meet specific application needs.
- Customizable features include size (diameter, length, lead length), resistance ratio (R100/R0 from 1.385 to 1.391), and base resistance (±0.04% at 0°C or other calibration temperatures).
- Customized elements available in as few as 6 weeks.
Comparison with Other Sensing Technologies:
