Capacitec, Inc. - Product Announcements

The Series 4000 Capacitec® amplifiers and racks were designed to offer the best signal to noise ratio and wide band width response options in a simple modular package. The 4000 Series was built upon our 20 year proven foundation of 3000 Series amplifiers (3101-SP, 3200, 3201-SP) still in operation. Utilization of individual pins in a 32 (read more)

Engineers have long been searching for reliable and repeatable methods to measure thin gaps between 0.004" (0.11mm) and 0.20" (5mm). Mechanical contact methods such as feeler gauges, shims and calipers had long been the only available method to measure gaps, even in areas where damage could be caused to polished or sensitive surfaces. Capacitec has eliminated the requirement for the operator's (read more)

Significant scientific and engineering enhancements in advanced materials, Pre-Process and In-Process production methods and in-site testing methods are driving the demand for displacement sensors that can handle extremely high temperatures up to 1832°F (1000°C). Contemporary producers of aircraft engine rotational alignment, plate glass, materials testing extensometry, continuous flow steel, now (read more)

Microprocessor chips have found their way into a surprisingly high number of products that are around us every day in our home, car and office. This explosion in worldwide demand has forced semiconductor manufacturers to enhance quality and throughput in ways never before imagined. Capacitec's microinch level positioning sensing systems assist chip processing and handling equipment manufacturers t (read more)

The cylindrical probes are the most popular version of the non-contact series. Its case is an additional component added to the sensor and guard elements to avoid being earth grounded. A set screw or split clamp housing is normally designed to hold it in place for easy adjustments. (read more)

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. They are often used in pairs to compensate for part misalignment and gage positioning. (read more)

Similar to the HPC Series the threaded probes allow mounting into a drill and tapped hole or bracket where more limited access is available. The probe is held in place with a mating nut (optional) and may be rotated for fine axial positioning. (read more)

The GAPMAN is equipped with a patented GPD series quick-change probe (as shown above). GPD probes are like the HPD sensors, but with both interface connection on the same side to conveniently connect to our patented contacts. (read more)

GAPMAN is the world's first high precision, non-contact, portable electronic gap measurement gage. It features a dual capacitive sensor for position-compensated measurement and easy insertion into very narrow gaps down to 0.009" (0.23mm) in a wide range of parallel and roller gap applications. Microprocessor based and (read more)

A separate clock driver card is required to drive 1 or more amplifier cards. This unit indicates the "on" condition of the ±15 volts DC supply voltage with individual red LED lights and has a x3 amplitude drive adjustment pot for supplying a 15kHz excitation signal. This control is used to match a required (read more)

Our Model HPB series button-like capacitive sensors are manufactured in a very thin version and installed "back to back" in a rigid or semi rigid 1mm nominal industrial wand. The purpose of the wand is to replace hard stop gauge blocks with an electronic equivalent that will withstand the industrial environment. This series is custom designed (read more)

Maintaining the perfect alignment of a particle detector in a gap measuring only 0.050" (1.27mm), at 300°F (149°C) and in a chamber exposed to 2 tesla magnetic field along with 107 RADS of radiation is not a job for your average displacement sensor. (read more)

The 6100 Vibration Measurement Systemis a powerful tool for measurement of rapidly spinning or vibrating targets in high temperature environments up to 1832°F (1000°C). The high temperature functionality of the 6100's CM/DM series probes combines with a conditioned frequency response capability to 128kHz to make the system (read more)

A basic single channel amplifier card with a 1.0 inch rack mountable front panel. A screwdriver implemented offset and gain control is available and offers ±2% of full scale typical linearity with 0.01% repeatability. It is ideally suited for OEM and high volume, multi-point applications where computer interface and (read more)
