Maximum suspension travel
Maximum travel (max. travel) describes the greatest possible stroke of a Spring Contact Probe without causing mechanical overload or damage. It defines the design limit of the permissible operating range and ensures that the Contact Probe is operated within safe mechanical parameters.
Exceeding the maximum spring travel can lead to permanent deformation, increased wear, or failures. Therefore, adherence to this limit is crucial for the reliability, Lifetime, and process reliability of test systems, particularly in ICT, FCT, and high-speed applications.
FAQ
Maximum travel represents the upper mechanical limit, while recommended travel describes the optimal operating range.
This leads to increased mechanical stress, faster wear, and a potential reduction in the Lifetime of the Contact Probe.
Through mechanical stops, defined installation heights, and controlled compression in the adapter design.
