  • Feedthroughs for Eddy Current displacement sensors enable measurements in vacuum applications

    Precision sensor supplier Micro-Epsilon has introduced a new vacuum feedthrough for its eddyNCDT series of non-contact inductive displacement sensors. The new eddy/fB0/fB0/triax feedthrough allows the sensors to be used inside closed chambers for vacuum operation as well as providing a suitable conduit as a wall duct to place the sensor inside a vessel. A pluggable…


  • Precise measurement in the most confined of spaces

    Megatron’s CLP13 series displacement sensors are highly accurate, robust and require very little installation space. These features make the linear potentiometers the ideal displacement sensor for applications where space is limited. CLP13 linear potentiometers are available in measurement lengths of 13mm, 25mm, 50mm and 100mm. The displacement sensors feature a conductive plastic resistive element at…


  • Optical micrometers with high performance LED version that compensates for target tilt

    Precision sensor supplier Micro-Epsilon has extended its optoCONTROL series of optical micrometers with the optoCONTROL 2700-40, a high performance LED micrometer for the most demanding measurement tasks. Characterised by its high precision and sampling rate with a measuring range of 40mm, the LED micrometer is suitable for measuring contours, diameters, gaps, edges and segments in…
