Kaman Showcases AMS High-Precision Non-Contact Displacement Sensors
The Measuring Division of Kaman Precision Products, Inc. is showcasing its line of high-precision non-contact displacement sensors that are used for industrial condition monitoring.
These Advanced Magnetic Sensing (AMS) solutions provide root mean square (RMS) resolution as low as 1 micron, ensuring accurate measurements for industrial machinery condition monitoring.
Key measurements that Kaman’s AMS sensors monitor include:
- Non-contact speed sensing
- Shaft runout
- Changes in vibration profile
- Gear tooth condition monitoring
- Surface finish thickness inspection
- Crack and defect detection
These capabilities provide benefits like:
- Lower risk
- Minimal damage
- Lower frequency of unplanned downtime
- Fewer unexpected failures
These AMS sensors are available with various hermetic options, and all are IP-67 rated, available in the following configurations:
- AS4320 pressure port compatible
- Bolt head
- Flanged
- Threaded
Users can also customize the solutions for semi-custom needs or specific OEM integration.
With non-contact measurement capability, Kaman’s AMS sensors help to preserve the sensor condition and extend its useful life in industrial environments. They also provide several output options, including:
- 0-10 VDC
- 0-5 VDC
- 4-20 mA
