PST-CLAD-STRIP

Supported Applications

The Omega PST Series Thermocouple Wire Stripper is designed for the easy stripping of metal-sheathed or OMEGACLAD® thermocouple wire. The tool features larger chip ports to facilitate continuous self-cleaning during operation.

Operating Conditions & Performance

The series accommodates a range of nominal sheath outer diameters (OD) from 0.020 inches (0.50 mm) up to ¼ inch (6.25 mm). Each model is engineered with specific tool tolerances corresponding to its target OD; for example, the PST040A supports an OD range of 0.040 to 0.044 inches.

Unit weights vary by size class: models handling smaller diameters (e.g., PST020A through PST032A) weigh 28 g (1 oz), while mid-range units (PST040A through PST090A) weigh 71 g (2½ oz). Larger diameter strippers, such as the PST30MMA and above, have a weight of 128 g (4½ oz) or 227 g (8 oz).

Configuration Options

The series offers configurable options based on sheath size requirements. Key selection parameters include:

• Nominal Sheath OD: Available in both Imperial and Metric designations, including 0.020 inches (0.50 mm), ⅛ inch (1.57 mm), ¼ inch (3.17 mm), and metric-specific sizes like 6.00 mm.
• Replacement Tool Bits: Three distinct bit models are available to match the stripper size: TB125, TB188, or TB250.
• Power Adaptors: The tool mounts in a standard drill chuck. Power adaptors are offered in sizes S, M, and L, selected according to the specific model number.

The PST Series includes 13 distinct models covering sheath ODs from 0.50 mm through 6.25 mm. Model numbers follow a pattern indicating nominal size (e.g., PST020A for 0.020 inches, PST45MMA for 4.50 mm).

Key Product Differences

Variants within the series are distinguished by their target sheath diameter and corresponding mechanical specifications:

• PST020A to PST032A: Designed for 0.50 mm to 0.79 mm OD wire; utilize TB125 replacement bits and Power Adaptor S.
• PST040A to PST090A: Covering 1.00 mm to 2.38 mm (⅜ inch) OD; equipped with TB188 replacement bits and Power Adaptor M.
• PST30MMA, PST125A, PST45MMA, PST187A, PST60MMA, PST250A: Handle larger diameters from 3.00 mm to 6.25 mm; require TB250 replacement bits and Power Adaptor M or L depending on the specific model.

To order additional power adaptors, specify POWER ADAPTOR followed by S, M, or L as indicated in the selection table.
