SMTS-RTD Harold G. Schaevitz has introduced a line of resistance temperature detectors (RTDs) that are surface mounted and have a stainless-steel fitting that can be threaded into a tapped hole. The surface-mount threaded stud (SMTS) RTDs are suited for production environments, testing and R&D. Within the plastics industry, end users and OEMs can affix them to extruder barrels and dies, and to injection molding machine nozzles, hot runners and molds. The devices have a temperature range of minus 50 degrees Fahrenheit to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. Â
What’s new? The size. The miniature sensors are designed for monitoring temperatures in tight spaces.Â
Benefits Simple installation and reliable, consistent temperature measurement.  Â
