Keyence GT-H10 Digital Contact Sensor Head
Product Introduction
The Keyence GT-H10 is a general purpose digital contact sensor head. Keyence built it as a standard LVDT type for accurate displacement checks. Its 10 mm measuring range covers many inspection tasks on production lines. Measuring force stays low across mounting directions. Specifically, it reaches 1.0 N downward, 0.9 N sideways and 0.8 N upward. Such gentle force protects soft or delicate workpieces. Mechanical response sits at 10 Hz at 23 °C. Meanwhile, repeatability reaches 3 µm at 23 °C with a 100 ms response setting. As a result, the GT-H10 suits dimensional verification and go/no-go gauging.
Technical Specifications
This sensor head uses the LVDT principle for stable contact measurement. Its 10 mm stroke handles parts with moderate height variation. Moreover, the low measuring force reduces marks on finished surfaces. Repeatability of 3 µm supports tight tolerance checks. The 10 Hz mechanical response matches most inline inspection speeds. Users can adjust response time through the connected GT series amplifier. Therefore, the GT-H10 balances speed and accuracy for general metrology.
Communication and Electrical Notes
This contact sensor head carries no built-in ports. In addition, it supports no standalone protocols. Communication expansion is not available on the head itself. Instead, it connects directly to a GT series amplifier unit. That amplifier supplies power and processes all signals. Consequently, the head carries no independent supply voltage rating. Power consumption and output type are also not specified for the head alone. For wiring and output details, please check the GT amplifier manual.
Mechanical and Environmental Parameters
The Keyence GT-H10 weighs about 115 g with its 2-metre cable. Its compact housing fits standard mounting fixtures and jigs. The protection rating reaches IP67, so dust and brief water exposure cause no harm. Operating temperature ranges from -10 to +55 °C without freezing. Relative humidity should stay between 35 and 85 % RH with no condensation. However, storage temperature data is not published. Dimensions are also unavailable, so check the current datasheet for exact sizes.
Installation Guide
First, mount the GT-H10 on a rigid bracket to avoid deflection. Next, align the contact probe square to the measured surface. Then, connect the cable to a compatible GT series amplifier. After that, set the response time based on your cycle speed. Finally, zero the amplifier against a master part. Keep the probe travel within the 10 mm range to prevent damage. Also, clean the probe tip regularly for consistent readings.
