Displacement Sensors for Extreme Environments

Our sensors are commonly used:

  • In cryogenic environments
  • Inside mechanisms
  • Submerged in fluids
  • In high electrical fields
  • In hazardous environments
  • At high pressures
  • At high temperatures
  • In vacuum

Custom Fiberoptic Sensors For Non-Contact Measurement of Linear Distance, Displacement and Vibration

Welcome to Philtec, Inc., a manufacturer of custom fiber optic displacement sensors. Based in Annapolis, Maryland, USA, Philtec has been providing innovative fiber optic displacement sensing solutions since 1988. Our engineers can help you design that special sensor uniquely meeting your application requirements.

Principle of Operation....
These are retro-reflective type optical devices. The sensors use bundled glass fibers to transmit light to and receive reflected light from target surfaces. The intensity of received light is processed and used to measure linear distances from 0 to 50mm away.

If it reflects light . . . we can measure it!

From Inner Space To Outer Space . . . we can solve your measurement problems
