ABSTRACT:
A drive system for a probe of the type containing a first tubular housing within a second tubular housing which first tubular housing is advanced into and retracted from a conduit to take measurements of fluid within the conduit has a stepper motor for advancing the first tubular housing precisely controlled distances into and within the conduit. The stepper motor is connected to the first tubular housing through a friction drive roller which presses against the first tubular housing. Additionally, a rotational motor is connected to the outer tubular housing through a timing belt which extends around the second tubular housing. Sensors may be provided for measuring linear and rotational movement.
