Kaman Precision Products High-Temperature Displacement Sensors
Accurate - Non-Contacting Measurement In A Hostile Environment
November 2022 MARIETTA, GA
Features Include:
Applications requiring high accuracy, high reliability, and structural integrity
Operating temperatures from -320°F to +1,000°F (+1,200°F short term)
Displacement systems withstand pressures up to 3,500 or 5,000 psi
Dual-coil sensor design effectively minimizes radiation effects
Hermetically sealed and laser welded
Unaffected by environmental contaminants
The high temperature products in were initially designed for NASA and the nuclear power industry.
Kaman originally developed the high temperature displacement sensor to measure steam turbine shaft runout in nuclear power plants. They are also used to measure nuclear fuel rod position/vibration, since these inductive sensors are unaffected by radiation and most other environmental contaminants. This specialized line of high temperature sensors features precise operation at up to 1,000°F continuous and +1 200°F short term. They have resolution and repeatability comparable to Kaman’s conventional line of high precision systems.
