Capacitec is the world leader in the manufacture of small, high temperature (up to 1832°F (1000°C) capacitive non-contact displacement sensors and systems.
Since the 1970’s this technology has been used in Europe, the US and Japan to solve the most demanding applications for the measurement of small displacements (less than 2mm) and small gaps (0.23 to 4mm) in extreme temperature environments. Accuracy of 0.25 microns is possible with resolution in the nanometer range. Producers of fixed and flexible solar panels, aircraft engines, plate glass, continuous flow steel, now use standardized high temperature Capacitec sensor solutions for in-process applications to control the quality of their production on a real time basis. Qualification testing of disc brakes, jet engine dynamics and high speed shaft rotations also rely on Capacitec sensors.
High Temperature Major Applications:
Disc brake testing
Silicon Wafer processing
Flexible Solar Panel coater head gap/parallelism
Metal and Glass forming
Jet engine thermal expansion
Mold separation
Turbine testing
