Kaman's AMS sensors enhance condition monitoring by measuring runout, speed, and changes in machine vibration to minimize damage and reduce risk.

MIDDLETOWN, Conn. – The Measuring Division of Kaman Precision Products, Inc. in Middletown, Conn., is introducing the Advanced Magnetic Sensing (AMS) family of high-precision non-contact measuring systems for aerospace and military applications.

These sensors are engineered to operate reliably in high-pressure environments ranging from 500 to 40,000 pounds per square inch for critical applications in aerospace propulsion and military systems.

Kaman's AMS sensors enhance condition monitoring systems by measuring and monitoring runout, speed, and changes in machine vibration, which is crucial for reducing risk, minimizing damage, and preventing unplanned downtime due to unexpected failures.

The sensors also are for non-contact speed sensing, shaft runout, gear tooth condition monitoring, surface finish thickness inspection, and crack and defect detection.

No special magnets needed

The AMS sensors operate without special magnets, work with any ferromagnetic target, and can detect target positions through non-magnetic, conductive, and non-conductive barriers for leak-proof, penetrator-free equipment instrumentation installations in aerospace and military applications.

The sensors offer root mean square (RMS) resolution down to 1 micron and have a standard measuring range to 7 millimeters. The AMS sensors are IP-67 rated and available with hermetic options. They come in standard configurations, including threaded, flanged, AS4320 pressure port compatible, and bolt head styles, and can be customized.

The sensors operate in temperatures from -320 to 1000 degrees Fahrenheit. For more information contact Kaman Precision Products online at www.kamansensors.com/product-category/high-precision-sensors.
