Displacement sensors for power generation in harsh environments like nuclear propulsion introduced by Kaman

MIDDLETOWN, Conn. – The Measuring Division of Kaman Precision Products Inc. in Middletown, Conn., is introducing the KD-1925, KD-1950, and KD-1975 high-precision displacement sensors for power generation in extreme environments like nuclear and aerospace propulsion.

These displacement sensors operate in temperatures from -320 to 1000 degrees Fahrenheit at pressures as strong as 5,000 pounds per square inch.

Originally designed for NASA and the nuclear power industry, these sensors provide non contacting measurement of conductive surface motion in harsh environments.

Kaman’s displacement sensors are made with hermetically sealed, laser-welded Inconel housings and use metal-jacketed mineral-insulated cable to resist extremes in temperature, pressure, vibration, and environmental contaminants.

The KD-1925 withstands pressures as strong as 5,000 pounds per square inch; and KD-1950 and KD-1975 withstand pressure as strong as 3,500 pounds per square inch.

The sensors use KDM-8206 signal conditioning electronics. Single-channel systems are available in the NEMA-enclosures or benchtop and rackmount Eurocards.

The NEMA enclosure houses an internal power supply, digital panel meter, and window kit. As many as 12 measuring channels are available in the rackmount KDM-8206.
