While working on electronics projects, it’s often necessary to test out different capacitance or resistance values as things are moving along. Depending on what you are testing, this can be a tedious ...

Electronically-variable capacitors, whether used for T&M or in an end circuit, usually have a maximum capacitance of a few hundred picofarads, and a limited adjustment range. This Design Idea ...

Variable capacitors may be useful, but the air gap that provides their capacitance is their greatest weakness. Rather than deal with the poor dielectric properties of air, some high-end variable ...

The model 720 is a low-cost, compact capacitance vacuum gauge (CVG) based on the companyÕs variable capacitive sensor design. It produces a 0 to 5 Vdc or 0 to 10 Vdc output that is linear with ...

High-accuracy measurement of low-frequency events distinguishes Meggitt Sensing Systems’ Endevco 7298 triaxial, variable capacitance accelerometer from comparable devices. The device offers +0.5% full ...

The Endevco Model 7298 triaxial, variable-capacitance accelerometer is for highly accurate measurement of low-frequency events. The units are available in six models, ranging from 2 to 100 gm, and ...

Capacitive displacement sensors turn tiny gaps into actionable signals. By measuring changes in capacitance as target moves, these devices deliver precise, non-contact readings of position and motion.
