Kaman Precision Products High-Temperature Displacement Sensors Accurate - Non-Contacting Measurement In A Hostile Environment

 

November 2022 MARIETTA, GA ~

Kaman Precision Products manufactures a line of high-precision sensors and systems specifically for extreme environment applications. These include three displacement measuring systems, all able to operate at high temperatures

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.
