Non-contact capacitive displacement sensors of the capaNCDT series measure distances, lengths, dimensions, or positions of any electrically conducting targets (e.g. metals).

Due to the use of the guard ring capacitor principle highly linear output characteristics can be realised without additional electronic linearization circuitry. capaNCDT systems are further characterised by their excellent resolution and stability. A linearisation function is integrated for measurement against insulator materials.

A wide range of distance sensor and electronic unit options allows optimum solutions even for the most difficult measuring tasks. The product range includes special design versions for specific customer requests as well as low-cost versions for OEM applications.
