High precision measurements based on capacitive sensors

Micro-Epsilon has extended its product range of capacitive displacement sensors with the capaNCDT CSE01 and CSE025 models. With a diameter of just 3 mm and a length of 15.6 mm, the CSE01 is one of the smallest triaxial sensors in the world. Equipped with an integrated cable, this compact sensor can also be integrated where installation space is at a premium.

Sensors from Micro-Epsilon based on the capacitive measuring principle are compact and offer high precision distance, position and thickness measurements. The comprehensive product range comprises more than 30 capacitive standard sensors with measuring ranges from 0.05 to 10 mm. Sensor replacement without additional calibration is made possible by the innovative Triax technology.

These robust sensors are extremely versatile. They can be used both in industrial environments, where sub-micron accuracy is achieved, and in clean environments, where even measurements down to sub-nanometer accuracy are possible.

In special environments such as vacuums, clean rooms or magnetic fields, these sensors also provide extremely stable signals. In addition, they are temperature-compensated and achieve maximum precision even at fluctuating and high temperatures.
