Capacitive displacement sensors turn tiny gaps into actionable signals. By measuring changes in capacitance as target moves, these devices deliver precise, non-contact readings of position and motion.

In this paper, an angular position sensor (APS) designed for a resonant miniaturized scanning mirror (M-SM) is presented. The APS operates based on the principle of differential variable capacitance, ...

From synchrotron light sources to long-term space missions, nanopositioning specialist Queensgate is eyeing niche markets and extreme operating conditions for its NC series of nanosensors Tough enough ...

This paper describes the design and characterisation of a long-range capacitive displacement sensor, NanoSensor® model NXE2. Special emphasis is placed on the design features and metrological ...

Whole-angle gyroscopes have broad prospects for development with inherent advantages of excellent scale factor, wide bandwidth and measurement range, which are restrictions on rate gyroscopes.

Non-contact displacement measurements can be made rapidly and with high precision using capacitive sensors over a modest range. The main features are: Capacitive sensing is a non-contact measurement ...

Capacitive sensors are found in a wide range of equipment, from consumer electronics to industrial/process control. Touch buttons are increasingly found in lamps and dimmers. Motion detectors can ...
