Kavlico has developed
a variant on the proximity device
based upon its ceramic capacitive
technology. This technology has been
used with great success in a multitude
of sensing application worldwide for
automotive, aviation, and general
industrial applications.
The force sensor
is a high output, temperature compensated
DC output device that has an extremely
small displacement (6x10-6m) and excellent
non-linearity specifications.
Typical output
formats are 0.5 to 4.5 Vdc or 5-20mA.
Unlike other technologies, Kavlico
force sensors exhibit extreme stability
and a linear output, with a rugged
construction.
The sensor has
a high MTBF for critical aerospace
applications. The ceramic capacitive
technology is an attractive alternative
for force sensing due to its high
output, high stiffness, ruggedness,
and small size. The sensors require
less space than strain gage or LVDT/spring
devices and are lightweight in design.
In critical airborne
environments where there is high vibration
and temperature fluctuations, Kavlico
force sensors excel.
