Capacitec High Temperature Non-Contact Displacement Sensors Offer Performance to +1000 °C in Manufacturing and Testing Applications

• In-vehicle disc brake wear analysis. Capacitec Model HPC-150C-H sensor assembly offers small size (OD 9.5 mm), large range (2.5 mm) and 0.25 micron resolution. Operating at +400 °C, they are used to test runout, thickness variation, coning, wobble and thermal expansion of disc brake rotors.

• Automotive windshield glass production. Manufacturing equipment incorporates Model HPC-500-V sensors with flexible high temperature cables. These measure gaps in the tooling at production temperatures of +800 °C, to ensure precise glass size and shape specifications.

• Commercial plate glass production and fabrication. Capacitec custom gap sensors with 4 meters of +800 °C high temperature cables are used to control thickness of anti-reflective and solar coatings.

• Aircraft engine testing. Operating in temperatures of up to +1,000°C, Capacitec Model HPC-75-V/S non-contact displacement sensors measure thermal expansion, axial expansion and radial runout to confirm that dimensional design parameters meet specification at extreme operating temperatures
