Micro-Turbine Development

Photo of Philtec Sensor model D6 showing fiber optic probe is Ø150 µm.
Illustration of a micro turbine with 3 bumps organized at 120° from each other. Height of the bumps is  0.2mm. Width of the bumps is .05mm only.

1,000,000 rpm Speed Counting – Micro-Turbine developers are using Philtec model D6 Ø150 µm probes to detect tiny bumps on the rotor.
