C A P A C I T E C 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...

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 extremely high sensitivity to...

CASE SENSOR SENSOR INSULATOR GUARD INSULATOR COAX CABLE GUARD CYLINDRICAL SERIES a 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. NOTES : 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...

GPD Series GAPMAN Wands The GAPMAN is equipped with a patented GPD series quick-change probe (as shown below). GPD probes are like the HPD sensors, but with both interface connection on the same side to conveniently connect to our patented contacts. The GPD-5F-A-200 model is our standard GAPMAN probe. Its dimensions are 0.016”(0.4mm) thick by 8.0”(200mm) long. An optional thinner choice would be the GPD-5G-A-150 which is 0.009” (0.22mm) thick and 6.0” (150mm) long. Both these probes are very flexible and their prolonged length allow good penetration into “inboard” and hard to reach gap locations....

E L E C T R O N I C R A C K S 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...

4100 SERIES CLOCK DRIVER CARDS 4100-C: 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 calibration sensitivity to a specific model displacement probe. (1 clock, 0.80" wide normally fits in a far right rack slot). 4100-CM3-3.5 LED: The same as the 4100-C, except that a larger, 2.8” inch wide, front panel has been added to accommodate a standard...
