Precision sensor supplier Micro-Epsilon has expanded its capaNCDT series of capacitive displacement sensors to include sensors for extremely demanding operating conditions. Acceptable conditions for the new sensors include cleanrooms as well as ultra-high vacuums, strong magnetic fields and extreme temperatures.
The capaNCDT series includes five cylindrical sensors and seven models with a flat design measuring ranges from 0.2mm to 5mm. The sensors feature resolutions as small as 0.03nm with a compact design, multi-channel capability and OME-compatible solutions.
The range covers extreme temperature ranges from -270°C to +800°C, making it suitable for a range of applications in research and development and industry. Due to their non-magnetic titanium housing, it is particularly suitable for applications near strong magnetic fields, for example in research and cryogenics. The integrated cable is low-outgassing, temperature resistant and mechanically resilient.
For use in cleanroom applications, SE sensors are specially cleaned prior to delivery. The material selection is designed for the lowest possible contamination and is prepared for residual gas analyses.
Last year, Micro-Epsilon launched a new portfolio of 100% in-house developed non-contact infrared temperature sensors (pyrometers).
