Precision displacement sensors for high temperatures and pressures

Non-contacting measurement of conductive surface motion in extreme environments
Jan. 29, 2026

KD-1925, KD-1950 and KD-1975 precision displacement sensors have operating temperatures from -320 °F to 1,000 °F (1,200 °F short term) at pressures up to 5,000 psi, so they can provide accurate, reliable, non-contacting measurement of conductive surface motion in extreme environments, such as power generation including nuclear, aerospace propulsion, materials research and development.

Three displacement measuring systems are available, each operable at high temperatures. KD-1925 withstands pressures up to 5000 psi, and KD-1950 and KD-1975 withstands pressure up to 3500 psi.

KD-1925, -1950 and -1975 are made with hermetically sealed, laser-welded Inconel housings, and use metal-jacketed, mineral-insulated cable to stand up to high temperatures, high pressures, vibration and environmental contaminants.

These sensors use versatile KDM-8206 signal-conditioning electronics. Single channel systems are available in the NEMA-enclosures or benchtop/rack-mountable Eurocards. The NEMA enclosure houses an internal power supply, digital panel meter and window kit. Up to 12 measuring channels are available in the rack-mountable KDM-8206.
