Wide measurement range of 0 to a maximum of 8 mm
High accuracy of 0.2%/FS (using a converter and sensor combination)
With a maximum frequency response of 10 kHz, it responds quickly to dynamic displacement changes such as axial runout and surface runout.
All conductive materials can be measured - unaffected by the color, roughness, reflectivity, or ambient light of the object being measured.
This newly developed capacitive gap detector, combined with a VT series transducer, provides non-contact, high-precision measurement of distance and displacement to a target object (conductive materials such as iron, aluminum, copper, and various metal platings). It measures the gap and displacement between the sensor end face and the target surface from the capacitance of the capacitor formed by the interaction between the object surface and the end face of the VE series sensor electrode positioned opposite it. It is highly effective for measuring and controlling shaft vibration and runout in rotating machinery such as turbines, electric motors, and compressors, as well as the warping, flatness, and thickness of conductive materials such as silicon wafers and hard disks. Because it uses non-contact detection, it does not load the rotating or vibrating object, nor does it alter its vibration mode.
Five types of VE sensors are available, with measurement ranges up to 8mm. The transducers come in two models: the compact and low-cost VT-5700 series, suitable for embedded applications, and the VT-5200 series, ideal for experimental applications. Both series are available in two types: one with a frequency response of 4kHz and another with a high-speed response of 10kHz.
