CTC’s flat surface magnets are a widely favored option for mounting wireless sensors during route-based data collection. These magnets feature a flat base, which maximizes the contact area with the machine surface. Their straightforward design allows for quick and secure attachment, making them especially suitable for machines with smooth, flat surfaces. Compared to curved surface magnets, flat magnets generally offer superior sensor frequency response. When working with equipment that includes both flat and curved surfaces, it’s beneficial for analysts to carry both types of magnets to ensure proper sensor placement across varying geometries.
