Capacitance Gauging System

Capacitance Gauging System

The capacitance gauging system consists of Microsense II (Model 5300) and capacitance sensors. The Microsense II is designed for high precision, non-contact displacement measurement of high speed, moving, rotating, or vibrating devices utilizing ADE's latest sub-nanometer resolution capacitance technology.

  • Completely non-contact design
  • Target surface finish or reflectivity have no effect on measurement performance
  • Advanced low noise design for sub-nanometer measurement resolution
  • Easy-to-read analog display module to assist in setting up the probes
  • Configured with up to 4 simultaneous channels
  • High measurement bandwidth 100 kHz
  • +/- 50 microns full scale
