EV Capacitance Type Displacement Converter

The EV Series Capacitance Type Displacement Converter is a unique and highly accurate
noncontact converter. It is not affected by the materials, components or surface reflectance of the
measured object compared with other measurement methods. It can measure displacement even if
the object is made of non-metals or electrical conductors.
Its operating principle is based on measuring the shunt potential between the measured object and
measured electrode, but it does not directly measure the absolute value of capacitance change.
Therefore, it can measure the displacement of any electrical conductor which is directly grounded
or high-frequency-grounded without being affected by changes of dielectric constant caused by
environmental changes. Two measuring ranges from 100 to 4,100µm and 100 to 6,100µm are
available. This converter allows advanced system design without having to consider characteristic
changes caused by the special shape or material of the measured object.

■ Main Features
1. Not affected by measured material
2. High accuracy
Outputs voltage signals proportional to the displacement within a linearity
of ±1% of F.S.
3. Stabilized internal circuit
In order to maintain highly accurate and stable detection, it is necessary
to supply stable signals to the bridge circuit. Thus, the frequency is
stabilized by a crystal oscillator, and the output voltage is fed back for
amplitude control to the AGC circuit.
