Kaman Precision Products - KD-5100 Differential Resolution to a Nanometer

Kaman’s KD-5100
Differential resolution to a nanometer

Differential measuring systems provide exceptional resolution, repeatability, and nulling accuracy for detecting the aligned/centered position of a conductive target
relative to a pair of non-contacting sensors.

Using the KD-5100 for differential measurement applications, two precisely matched sensors per channel are positioned on opposite sides or ends of a target.

In this sensor-to-target relationship, as the target moves away from one sensor, it moves toward the other an equal amount.

Output is differential and bipolar.

The electronically-matched sensors on opposing legs of the same bridge provide superior thermal stability.

Two standard sensor configurations are available.

Sensors and electronics packaging can be reconfigured for special customer applications or OEM requirements.
