OverviewMagnetic hold-downs for acoustic emission (AE) sensors, designed to secure sensors to ferromagnetic test surfaces. Units consist of a permanent magnet and a protective shell. M series are standard-temperature hold-downs; H series are high-temperature variants — consult model table for specific ratings.
Features- Magnetic clamping for fast, repeatable mounting on ferromagnetic structures
- Simple, compact construction
- Range of models to fit common AE sensor diameters and configurations

Accessories- AE couplant: high-temperature paste type (typical use range -35°C to 235°C, melting point ≥270°C)
- Calibration tools: pencil break and guide rings for manual source generation (e.g. Φ0.3 mm 2H or Φ0.5 mm HB tips)
- Sensor signal leads: shielded cables, commonly 1 m or 2 m lengths
- AE coaxial cables: BNC‑terminated, lengths from 1 m up to 100 m
- Protective transport cases: rugged, crush- and impact-resistant, some models with wheels and telescopic handle
