Pressure sensors and accelerometers are moving toward capacitive sensing. And, capacitive displacement sensors are even found in disk drives. These sensors produce an output: capacitance.

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 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 ...

For example, in shock testing that requires integrating acceleration data for velocity or displacement, design teams should choose a capacitive MEMS or piezoresistive accelerometer.

The brochure on capacitive nanometrology displacement sensors and electronics presents PI’s state-of-the-art systems and also features a tutorial on single plate and dual plate capacitive sensors and ...

Macroscopically, capacitive sensors are usually analyzed by converting their capacitance into another physical variable, such as voltage, time, or frequency. Microscopically, capacitive sensors have ...

Capacitive displacement nanosensors are made to measure in extreme environments 19 Dec 2022 Sponsored by Queensgate, a brand of Prior Scientific From synchrotron light sources to long-term space ...

A capacitance proximity sensor most often used for industrial automation is mounted in the wooden base. He just calls it “an NPN capacitive sensor” without mentioning part number but these are ...

Non-contact displacement measurements can be made rapidly and with high precision using capacitive sensors over a modest range. The main features are: Capacitive sensing is a non-contact measurement ...
