NON-CONTACT DISPLACEMENT

THIN GAPS Engineers have long been searching for reliable and repeatable methods to measure thin gaps between 0.010” (0.254mm) and 0.125” (3.18mm). 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 “feel” inherent in feeler gauges by developing a broad line of non contact industrial gap sensors as well as a new portable gap measurement tool named GAPMAN®. These modern Capacitec...

C A P A C I T E C is a global technology company dedicated to advancing the capacitive principle of measurement physics to its highest level in sensor design. Our scientific and industrial customers depend on us for precision movement detectors, part-dimensional sizing, thin gap sensors and strain extensometry for material strength testing. Over eighteen years of product line history has demonstrated Capacitec’s strong support in all markets where a more sophisticated ruler is required and in areas where traditional sensors cannot fit or survive the environment. A realized claim of...

STANDARD PROBES Capacitec non-contact displacement probes are noted for their large linear range versus the small outside diameter of the probe package. BUTTON SERIES HPB SERIES BUTTON 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. They are often used in pairs to compensate for part misalignment and gage positioning. HPB Series probes exemplify the premier strengths...

CYLINDRICAL SERIES HPC SERIES CYLINDRICAL PROBES 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. NOT E S : CABLE INSULATOR 1. The guard element is driven with an electronic voltage 2 to 20 Volts P - P maximum and must not be grounded. 2. -D dip coatings also prevent the driver, sensor and guard elements from being accidentally earth grounded or shorted. (not...

STANDARD PROBES Capacitec non-contact displacement probes are noted for their large linear range versus the small outside diameter of the probe package. THREADED SERIES HPT SERIES THREADED PROBES 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. NOT E S : (cont’) 5. A 20 point archived calibration record of voltage output versus nominal displacement is provided standard with every probe. CABLE...

GAP MEASURING PROBES HPS SERIES PROBES HPB Series Industrial Wands The single sided very thin stick-on HPS sensors provide the thinnest packaged capacitive sensor elements available in the market today. Several sizes available from stock which include lengths up to 8.0’’(200mm) with a thickness as low as 0.004”(0.11mm) . Our proprietary snap-on connector provides a convenient but robust connection. The linear measurement range of a typical HPS-4 series sensor is 0.100”(2.5mm) nominal in a 0.394”(10.0mm) overall width. Our Model HPB series button-like capacitive sensors are manufactured in a...

ELECTRONIC RACKS 4000 SERIES 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 pin DIN connector increases reliability for more industrial applications where vibrations are present. The small Euro-style 2U size boards have appeal for small portable packaging as well as high (but lightweight) density...

AMPLIFIERS CARDS & ACCESSORIES 4100 SERIES AMPLIFIERS 4100-S: 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 possible linearization is available. (1 slot rack requirement). 4100-SL: The same as the 4100-S except that an add-on linearization board gives the basic amplifier an enhanced stand alone linearity of ±0.2% accuracy...

The new 5100 Series Amplifiers extend the non-contact measurement capability into higher speeds and greater linearity than ever before. Features include : Analog output: 0 - 10V standard (+/- 5V max) On-board digital linearization (linearity to ±0.1% of f.s.) Selectable filter response: 3.1kHz, 5.7kHz, 8.1kHz, and 11.2kHz, to -3dB (-1dB points are 1.8kHz, 3.8kHz, 6.4kHz, and 8.4kHz respectively) Bessel-like response to pulse motion (little to no overshoot) Less than 2.8 mVAC noise (3.1kHz setting) Pushbutton calibration - no potentiometers Compatible with all Capacitec sensors 2U Euro...
