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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

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).

These include pole and rotor profile as well as an overall minimum gap output with sensor ranges of 25mm, 50mm and 75mm. ENDS Further details on the CS range of air gap sensors are available from: ...

I am trying to test a capacitive touch sensor. Specifically, I want to show that it registers a specific change in capacitance. Capacitance is defined as: C = A * Eo * Er / d Keeping A, Eo and d ...
