Capacitec is a global technology company dedicated to advancing the capacitive principle of measurement physics to its highest level in sensor design. Our scientific and industrial customers depend on us for precision movement detectors, part-dimensional sizing, thin gap sensors and strain extensometry for material strength testing. Over eighteen years of product line history has demonstrated Capacitec’s strong support in all markets where a more sophisticated ruler is required and in areas where traditional sensors cannot fit or survive the environment. A realized claim of extremely high sensitivity to minute physical/mechanical changes and exceptional amplifier output stability support capacitive sensor applications, especially in severe environments of temperature, magnetic fields, high radiation and non-contact, non-intrusive applications. An aggressive research and development program continues to drive Capacitec’s advances in instrumentation, analog and digital circuitry and demonstrated longevity in rugged packaging design. These investments, combined with updated manufacturing techniques enable us to consistently provide products of superior performance, stability and economy of packaging and pricing.
