Capacitive Displacement Sensors: Working Principle & Precision Measurement Applications
Capacitive Displacement Sensors: Working Principle & Precision Measurement Applications Capacitive displacement sensors are precision non-contact measurement devices that utilize capacitance changes to determine position, distance, and thickness with exceptional accuracy. These capacitive distance sensors offer superior performance in applications requiring high-resolution measurements, making them essential tools across manufacturing, automation, and research industries. How Capacitive Displacement Sensors Work Capacitive Sensor Working Principle Capacitive displacement sensors operate on the fundamental principle of measuring capacitance variations between two conductive surfaces. The sensor probe acts as one plate of a parallel plate capacitor, while the [...]

How the Aviation Industry Solves Vibration and Balancing Challenges
The aviation industry spends significant amounts of time and money on problems caused by engine vibration. Imbalance, the most common cause of engine vibration, happens because of bird strikes and other impacts, but also because of natural wear and corrosion that redistribute mass. In turn, out-of-balance parts can result in cabin noise, metal fatigue, and cracked turbine, fan, or compressor components. In the most extreme cases, catastrophic engine failure may result MTI Instruments, a worldwide supplier of precision measurement solutions, makes equipment for monitoring vibration levels and balancing rotors. For maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) crews who want to [...]
Direct Digital Outputs for Precise Sensor Measurement Without Programming
MTI’s Digital Accumeasure converts highly reliable capacitive electric field measurements into highly precise 24-bit digital readings. This digital capacitance displacement gauge interfaces with DASYLab, data acquisition (DAQ) software from Measurement Computing with tools and functions for application development without programming. By interfacing MTI’s Digital Accumeasure with DASYLab, you can get precise sensor measurements without sacrificing speed, reliability, or ease-of-use. The Digital Accumeasure connects to DASYLab through a Modbus interface. Because MTI’s precision measurement technology has direct digital outputs, you can directly import digital displacement values instead of lower-resolutions analog values. In other words, instead of converting measurements to analog [...]
