Keyence GT-H10L Low-Stress Contact Sensor

Keyence GT-H10L Low-Stress Contact Sensor Head

Product Introduction

The Keyence GT-H10L is a general purpose digital contact sensor head. Keyence designed this low-stress type for delicate workpieces. Its 10 mm measuring range covers common dimensional checks. Measuring force stays very low across mounting directions. Specifically, it reaches 0.3 N downward, 0.25 N sideways and 0.2 N upward. Such gentle contact prevents scratches on glass, plastic and thin metal. Mechanical response sits at 7 Hz at 23 °C. Meanwhile, repeatability reaches 3 µm at 23 °C with a 100 ms response setting. Therefore, the GT-H10L suits soft parts and fragile assemblies.

Technical Specifications

This sensor head relies on the LVDT principle for stable contact measurement. Its 10 mm stroke handles parts with moderate height variation. Moreover, the low measuring force reduces deformation on soft surfaces. Repeatability of 3 µm supports tight tolerance checks. The 7 Hz mechanical response fits moderate inspection speeds. Users can fine-tune response time through the connected GT series amplifier. Consequently, the GT-H10L balances gentle contact with reliable accuracy.

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. As a result, 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-H10L weighs about 115 g with its 2-metre cable. Its compact housing fits standard mounting fixtures and jigs. Operating temperature ranges from -10 to +55 °C without freezing. Relative humidity should stay between 35 and 85 % RH with no condensation. However, the protection rating is not published for this model. Storage temperature data is also unavailable. Therefore, keep the head in a clean, dry area during storage.

Installation Guide

First, mount the GT-H10L 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.

FAQ

Q1: What makes the Keyence GT-H10L different from the GT-H10?
A: The GT-H10L uses a low-stress design with only 0.2–0.3 N measuring force.

Q2: Does the GT-H10L work without an amplifier?
A: No. This sensor head needs a GT series amplifier for power and signal output.

Q3: What repeatability does this low-stress sensor head achieve?
A: It reaches 3 µm at 23 °C with a 100 ms response setting.

Q4: Can the GT-H10L measure soft or fragile parts?
A: Yes. Its gentle measuring force protects glass, plastic and thin metal.

Q5: Which shipping carriers do you use?
A: We use Fedex, UPS and DHL for all international shipments.
