Capacitive Position Sensors - ApplicationsCapacitive position sensors offer the following major advantages compared to other types of precision position sensors – - Capacitive sensors provide high resolution, down to the nanometer level, over short ranges – typically from 10 micrometers up to 2 millimeters.
- Capacitive sensors are completely non-contact, and work with and conductive, grounded target
- Capacitive sensors offer high measurement bandwidth – up to 10 KHz, 20 KHz or 100 KHz, depending upon model
Our sensors are used in many different applications in a variety of industries, links to application examples are provided below. Please do not hesitate to contact us to discuss your specific application requirements.
