Capacitive Sensors
Capacitance sensors
for non contact
measurement
Capacitive sensors were first developed to
measure the clearance between the tip of
the blades and the casing of turbo engines.
The turbo engine output is directly related to this
clearance which must be as small as possible, to
give maximum output efficiency, however in no
circumstances must the blades touch the engine
casing.
Most capacitive sensors applications have been
mainly used for measurement in aircraft engines
however the same types of measurement apply
to industrial gas turbines:

Expertise
In partnership with the main international
turbine manufacturers, THERMOCOAX offers
capacitive sensors which can withstand very
high temperatures and are adapted to two different technologies:
• Triaxial up to 1100°C
• Pseudo-triaxial up to 1100°C and1400°C
To work with our customers requirements for
higher temperature ranges, THERMOCOAX
solutions were developed with:
• ceramic / metal brazing
• ceramic / platinum brazing
• special designs to avoid the
disintegration of the probe in the turbine
• triaxial mineral insulated cable with high
level of insulation and low level of
capacitance
