| Capacitive non contact displacement and thin gap sensors have made significant contributions to improving R&D, quality and manufacturing efficiencies for vehicle manufacturers around the globe. The types of vehicles that have been improved include automobiles, sports utility vehicles (SUVs), and light and heavy trucks where the brake temperatures can reach 1600°F (871°C) for emergency stops. Automotive Major Applications: ![]() Disc and Drum Brake Wear Analysis Brochure (PDF) Driven by Automotive Manufacturers, Disc Braking Systems Suppliers and Testing Laboratories in the US, Europe and Asia, Capacitec has developed a new line of specialized non contact capacitive sensors. The new model HPC-150C-H-IC-00 sensor assembly combines the benefits of small size and high temperature (400°C) operation. Another major advantage of the new configuration is lower sensor replacement cost. The redesigned sensor surface provides enhanced "impact survivability". In addition, an innovative new integral connector, located behind the sensing surface, allows easy replacement of coaxial extension cables without the added cost of replacing the sensors themselves. This new sensor system is capable of taking dynamic brake system measurements both on-vehicle at test track facilities as well as in testing laboratories using dynamometers. ![]() Automotive Article from Sensors Magazine (PDF) |
