Product Announcements: Capacitive Linear Position Sensors

Capacitec launches Capteura™ 200 Series ultra stable, low noise, noncontact displacement measurement system. Electronics rack is three times smaller in volume than previous generation offering >100,000:1 resolution with HPC-150E-A-L2-1-B sensor, 200Hz bandwidth and 2.5mm of range. Best performance in combining small sensor, large displacement range with long cable length. (read more)

Capacitec (www.capacitec.com) has announced the launch of the model 410-XSC, a new family of single channel, stand-alone capacitance amplifiers with superior stability, resolution, signal-to-noise ratio and bandwidth in a standard OEM package. (read more)

MicroSense offers precision position sensors that operate in high vacuum or UHV (Ultra High Vacuum) environments for ranges up to 5 mm. MicroSense non-contact capacitive sensors are carefully constructed from low outgassing materials in order to avoid contamination of critical system components such as optics. Position sensors constructed from non-magnetic materials are available. (read more)

The MicroSense 8810 is the most accurate electrical position sensor available for measuring ranges from a few microns up to several millimeters. Completely non-contact, the 8810 detects any conductive target with nanometer resolution. (read more)

Capacitec announces the introduction of a Bluetooth wireless version of the Gapman®_Gen3, a "next generation" high-precision, non-contact portable thin gap electronic feeler gage, offering enhanced measurement capabilities for an expanded range of gap measurement applications. Blue tooth will be available in <10 meter and <100 meter versions (read more)

Capacitec non-contact displacement sensors offer the industry best small size to large measurement range probes.A tremendous advantage in measuring displacement and part dimensional changes can be gained by use of thin "side-looking" Capacitec® button probes. Their forte is in thin gap inspection and tolerances measured inboard and hidden in difficult to investigate products. (read more)

Gap Measurement Systems for Coating, Printing and Copying

Since the mid 1980's Capacitec has been supplying non-contact capacitive displacement sensors and systems to the Coating, Printing and Copying markets.

One applications was the development of an 80" (2 meter) thin gap wand to follow the paper path through an 80" (2 meter) hidden paper gap path after assem... (read more)

The MicroSense II Model 5300 holds up to 4 independent, non-contact capacitive position measurement sensors in an easy to carry console. MicroSense capacitive sensors measure any conductive target, providing nanometer level measurement resolution over ranges up to 5 mm. The 5300 is ideal for position measurement applications requiring flexible set up, whether in the lab or on the factory... (read more)

Measure large range (0.050") with small diameter (1.00") in extreme temperature environments. Accuracy 0.5%FS with 0.025%FS resolution for windshield and float glass production, dynamic testing of auto and truck disc brakes, jet engine thermodynamic testing, powergen rotor/shaft motion dynamics & crack propagation studies and rigid and flexible solar panel production.
