To accomplish their goals, they rely on sensor technologies that provide: High resolution High frequency response High reliability . . . all in an extremely harsh environment! SOLUTIONS KD-2306 KD-2446 KDM-8206 EXTREME ENVIRONMENT SENSORS Non-contact displacement sensors based on proven eddy current, balanced bridge technology handle this well. With a wide selection of standard and application specific models to choose from, rugged and reliable, high-performance eddy current sensors are the ideal solution for demanding engine dynamics applications. THE KAMAN ADVANTAGE With over 40 years of design, development, and application of eddy current technology, there is very little that is new to Kaman Precision Products. Engine dynamics testing has been a continuing area of application for Kaman’s displacement sensors, that offer: Rugged reliable technology. Operating temperatures to 1000 °F, pressures to 20,000 psi. Eddy current technology. Performance unaffected by environment: grease, oil, water, dirt, grime, radiation, humidity, etc. High-performance output. Submicron resolution, frequency response to 120 KHz, thermal stability to 0.02%. Custom solutions.Tell us what you need, and we will do our best to meet performance/price goals. Figure 1. Kaman’s eddy current sensors measure engine dynamics to 50 KHz at up to 1000 °F with better than 1 micron accuracy.
