Stroke / Working Travel
The stroke / working travel describes the movement of a Contact Probe between its starting and end positions. It defines how far the Contact Probe compresses during contact and is a key parameter for the design of contacts. It significantly influences the Contact force, mechanical stress, and wear during operation.
FAQ
It determines the deflection of the Contact Probe and thus influences spring force, contact quality, and lifetime.
A larger stroke allows for greater tolerance compensation, but can lead to increased wear.
As the stroke increases, the Spring force generally increases, which in turn increases the Spring force.
