UA18CSD03NPM1TI

Proximity Sensors

Proximity sensors are a type of sensing device that can detect the presence of objects or changes in positions (displacements) without touching them. They are commonly used in industrial automation applications as a replacement for traditional mechanical devices such as relays and switches. The UA18CSD03NPM1TI is a highly specialized proximity sensor designed to sense and measure the displacement of an object without contact. It uniquely combines two technologies, eddy current and capacitance, to offer unparalleled accuracy and repeatability for sensing precision displacements.

Application Field

The UA18CSD03NPM1TI non-contact displacement sensor is suitable for a wide range of applications such as machine tool inspection, dimensional gaging, position and gap measurement, and vibration and shock measurements. It utilizes a unique dual sensing technology that detects the presence of metallic and nonmetallic surfaces precisely and with repeatability, in the finest of details. The combination of a stable capacitive element and eddy current element improves measurement precision and repeatability compared to traditional sensors, allowing for more accurate measurements in various environments.

Working Principle

The UA18CSD03NPM1TI non-contact displacement sensor utilizes two sensing technologies - eddy current and capacitance - to accurately measure the displacement of an object without contact. The two sensing elements work together to detect the presence of a target object, as well as its position and displacement. The eddy current sensing element detects changes in the displaced surface’s electrical conductivity, while the capacitive sensing element measures the capacitance of the target object.

The UA18CSD03NPM1TI is designed to provide reliable, repeatable measurement results in both metallic and nonmetallic materials. It is optimized for precision measurements of extremely small displacements, such as those associated with vibration and shock measurements, as well as dimensional gaging and machine tool inspection. The noncontact design allows for precise and repeatable measurements, in a wide variety of environments and applications.
