The NCG-1-AL-UHV position sensors from Queensgate are the longest range devices in the company’s portfolio. Designed for precision positioning in the most uncompromising of environments, they have a sensing mechanism that utilises gold-plated ceramic capacitive plates and exhibits a combination of rugged construction plus strong operational performance of 0.12µm resolution (thanks to very low noise electronics).

Employing capacitance micrometry, the NX NanoSensor from Queensgate delivers sensitivity levels that are able to measure changes in position to an atomic scale. This state-of-the-art non-contact position measuring system relies on 2 sensor plates - a target and a probe, which between them form a parallel plate capacitor.
