Capacitive sensors enable non-contact measurement of thickness, distance, displacement, and position. Their high resolution and signal stability make them suitable for industrial measurements and laboratory applications. For instance, in production control, they are used to measure the application of the adhesives and the thickness of the film. Capacitive displacement sensors can also be installed on machines to track tool positions and displacement.
Highest Precision Surrounded by Extreme Temperatures

Micro-Epsilon’s capacitive displacement sensors provide highly accurate measurement when compared to traditional non-contact measurement technologies. Changes in temperatures do not influence the measurement values, as thermally induced conductivity changes do not affect the results. These sensors thus find applications in measuring the distance of superconductive magnets.
The temperature-resistant sensor design allows operation in ambient temperatures as low as -270 °C, while preserving maximum resolution.
