Non-contact displacement measuring system for test and measurement in laser communications offered by Kaman

April 1, 2020
Offering differential for common-mode rejection, the DIT-5200L provides precision measurement with resolution, repeatability, and nulling accuracy.

MIDDLETOWN, Conn. – The Measuring Division of Kaman Precision Products Inc. in Middletown, Conn., is introducing the DIT-5200L non-contact displacement measuring system for laser communications, paste link hereelectro-optical stabilization, and magnetic bearings.

This test and measurement system is for fast-steering mirrors, servo control position feedback, stage positioning, and angular displacement indication, as well as X-Y orbit position feedback and stylus position.

Offering differential for common-mode rejection, the DIT-5200L provides precision measurement technology with resolution, repeatability, and nulling accuracy.

The DIT-5200L displacement measuring system offers enhancements to Kaman's previous DIT-5200 product, resulting in lower noise, better resolution, and CE marking. Capable of sub-nanometer resolution, the DIT-5200L provides thermal stability of plus-or-minus 0.03 percent and sensitivity to 10 volts per mil, or 39 millivolts per micron.

With a package that measures 7.7 cubic inches, the DIT-5200L is linear to 0.1 percent of the full range, and is available in single- and dual-channel configurations.

The DIT-5200L signal conditioning electronics is packaged in a die cast aluminum box with MCX style sensor connections. I/O is on a nine-pin mini-D connector. The input power connections are reverse voltage protected.

The DIT-5200L Measuring System is built from commercial off the shelf (COTS) components, and uses high precision eddy current balanced bridge technology for detecting the aligned/centered position of a conductive target relative to a pair of non-contacting sensors.
