Resolution
Capacitive sensors achieve resolutions into the picometer range over shorter distances. The theoretical measuring resolution is unlimited. In practice, scatter radiation, geometrical effects, and the measuring electronics noise influence the achievable accuracy. In conjunction with the E-509.C1A electronics, the effective noise factor of the D-100.00 sensors (100 µm) is 0.02 nm/√Hz. Corresponds for example, to a resolution of 0.2 nm with 100 Hz bandwidth. The jumper-adjustable bandwidth of the electronics is up to 3 kHz.
In addition to the standard sensors listed here, PI offers customized versions, e.g., in measuring, geometry, material, electronics etc.
