Precision Capacitive Sensors

Capacitive sensors from MicroSense offer the lowest noise performance of any commercially available capacitive sensor, achieving nanometer and even picometer resolution. Several types of sensors are available - these "application specific" capacitive position sensors are optimized for either high stability and linearity or highest measurement bandwidth for fast response.
