Portable
Electronic Feeler Gage
 GAPMAN
is
the world's first high precision, non-contact, portable
electronic gap measurement gage. It features a dual capacitive
sensor for position-compensated measurement and easy insertion
into very narrow gaps down to 0.009" (0.23mm) in a wide
range of parallel and roller gap applications. Microprocessor
based and application software driven, GAPMAN records
and stores data points for easy transfer to SPC and other
quality systems. Additional information is available.
GPD Series
GAPMAN Wands
The GAPMAN is equipped with a patented GPD series quick-change
probe (as shown above). GPD probes are like the HPD sensors,
but with both interface connection on the same side to
conveniently connect to our patented contacts. The GPD-5F-A-200
model is our standard GAPMAN probe. Its dimensions are
0.016"(0.41mm) thick by 7.87"(200mm) long. An optional
thinner choice would be the GPD-5G-A-150 which is 0.009"
(0.23mm) thick and 5.90" (150mm) long. Both these probes
are very flexible and their prolonged length allow good
penetration into "inboard" and hard to reach gap locations.
HPS
Series Probes
 The
single sided very thin stick-on HPS sensors provide the
thinnest packaged capacitive sensor elements available
in the market today. Several sizes are available from
stock which include lengths up to 7.87''(200mm) with a
thickness as low as 0.004"(0.010mm) . Our proprietary
snap-on connector provides a convenient but robust connection.
The linear measurement range of a typical HPS-4 series
sensor is 0.100"(2.54mm) nominal in a 0.394"(10.0mm) overall
width.
The HPD is a dual sided version of the HPS with approximately
double the thickness (0.016"/0.41mm standard). This sensor
is normally used to measure gaps as small as 0.0085" (0.216mm)
with accuracies of 0.0003" (7.6µm) without scratching
delicate surfaces. Capacitec engineers custom design HPS/HPD
sensors to fit your specific needs in small or OEM volume
quantities.
