LION PRECISION CPL490 Capacitive Displacement Sensor measures position/displacement with 50 picometer precision or less. Relative to the noncontact sensor’s measurement range, that translates to a ...

A displacement measurement technology that integrates a sensor structure with the component being tested is proposed to address the challenges posed by limited sensor installation in small and compact ...

This paper describes the design and characterisation of a long-range capacitive displacement sensor, NanoSensor® model NXE2. Special emphasis is placed on the design features and metrological ...

Sensor manufacturer Micro-Epsilon UK has just launched a new range of non-contact, wear-free capacitive displacement measurement sensors, which offer extremely high performance (resolution and speed), ...

This article discusses about capacitive position sensors.Capacitance sensing has been in existence for more than 50 years. This article looks at the characteristics of capacitive sensing, the ...

This paper presents the development of capacitive displacement sensor comprised of a movable dielectric stick and a fixed capacitor with a micro channel. Movement of the stick causes change of the ...

Two sensor plates – a target and a probe – form a parallel-plate capacitor, with the spacing of the plates measured using an electronic controller. Measurement ranges from 20 µm to 1250 µm are ...

In the past, capacitive sensors for automotive electronics were rarely used, as they were deemed to be hard to control, difficult to read out, sensitive to aging, and temperature dependent. On the ...

A typical sensor offering 3% absolute accuracy (with 1% repeatability) corresponds to a resolution requirement of 1.5 pF. Some capacitive sensors measure displacement.

Capacitive sensors rely on the changing capacitance between two plates, one fixed, the other free to move, to detect changes in linear position of up to 0.4 in. (10 mm).
