Conax has developed stainless steel sanitary flanged temperature sensors and compression seal fittings that are ideally suited to sanitary applications within the food and beverage industry. Industry leaders have relied on our sliding contact thermocouples for years to ensure hermetic heat sealing in packaging operations.
Conax designs and manufactures accurate, reliable temperature sensors that are used for:
- Fusion draw processes that are used in creating chemically strengthened glass, such as Corning® Gorilla® Glass
- Float-glass production
- Glass melter operation
- Forehearth temperature measurement and control
Temperature sensors for cryogenic applications and compression seal fittings feature our soft sealant technology for process control. We have also originated custom-designed solutions for some of our clients’ toughest challenges, including:
- A sensor assembly capable of immersion in a cryogenic fluid and withstanding liquid motion forces inside storage tanks
- Heavy-duty cast iron pipe clamp thermocouple for liquid nitrogen tanks that stands up to field abuse
- A customized compression seal fitting that allows customers to measure liquid nitrogen at cryogenic temperatures in the range of -400°F (-240°C) with the highest accuracy possible in limited physical space
Conax is the originator of soft sealant technology that, when combined with mechanical compression, results in a remarkably secure seal on wires, probes, and electrodes passing through a pressure or environmental boundary.
Our compression seal fittings are perfectly suited to devices used in level control and gas detection, providing a secure, reliable seal for wires entering pressure boundaries and connecting sensors and instrumentation devices.
Conax provides temperature sensors and compression seal fittings and feedthroughs for bearings and bearing housings. Our designs are engineered to help ensure early failure detection and prevent unplanned downtime to reduce your maintenance costs and enhance safety.
Using the soft seal technology pioneered by Conax, we’ve engineered our fittings to seal securely on the individual insulated leads of bearing temperature sensors. We have also designed compression seal feedthroughs for cryogenic power applications.
Expanding our focus in the growing Semiconductor industry, Conax now has in-house capabilities to design and manufacture quartz sheaths for temperature sensors. Many of the temperature sensors used inside process chambers need a semiconductor-grade quartz sheath to protect them from the chemicals and temperatures present. Conax identified this as an area in which we can better serve our customers. By producing the sheaths in-house, we maintain greater control over quality and supply; and we can provide our customers with the quality products they need faster.
Conax provides lube oil sensors, stroking piston sensors, bearing temperature sensors and compression seal fittings up to Class I, Division I, explosion-proof applications. All of our temperature sensors and compression seal fittings are specially designed for the specific application. We also offer:
- Power feedthrough fittings for sealed motor housings
- Sensors and seal fittings for testing the compressor performance
- Compressor diagnostic feedthroughs

Utilizing this technology, we have engineered secure instrumentation wire seals for use in water tanks.
