- Key Products/Technologies
- Eddy Current Sensors (Gap Sensors): First developed in 1970, these non-contact displacement sensors are AEC's main product, capable of various non-contact measurements including gap, vibration, and revolution. The company offers several thousand types of sensors, including ultra-compact (Miniature) types, long-distance measurement sensors, and wide temperature range sensors, providing a comprehensive lineup. They can measure displacement and vibrations up to 20kHz DC, characterized by high resolution and high-speed response. Excellent environmental durability includes oil-proof, water-proof, high/low temperature resistance, and pressure resistance, ensuring stable performance in extreme conditions. Product categories include Standard (PU), Shield (PF), All-metal compatible (DPU), Single power supply (S), and Built-in amplifier (ML) types. The PF Series offers external diameters from φ3.4mm to φ10.5mm, measuring ranges from 0~0.5mm to 0~2.0mm, resolutions from 1.2μm to 1.6μm, and temperature ranges from -20~+140℃. The S Series features external diameters from φ6mm to φ10mm, measuring ranges from 0~2.4mm to 0~4mm, resolutions from 0.5μm to 1μm, and temperature ranges from -20~+180℃. The ML Series has an external diameter of φ6.2mm, a measuring range of 0~1.2mm, and a temperature range of -20~+105℃, achieving a maximum resolution of 0.04um and high-speed measurement at 100KHz.Eddy Current Sensors (Gap Sensors): First developed in 1970, these non-contact displacement sensors are AEC's main product, capable of various non-contact measurements including gap, vibration, and revolution.

- Measurement Systems and Applied Products: Accelerometers measure the magnitude of mechanical vibration. Seismometers, such as 'Vibro-Guard', measure earthquake magnitudes and enable batch and remote control of seismometric data. Digital monitors process measurements in batches and are used for equipment maintenance and diagnostic monitoring. Instantaneous rotational speed measurement systems allow real-time measurement of turbocharger rotational pulsation and precise analysis of gear backlash and shaft torsion. Vibration measurement systems are effective for long-term monitoring of machine tools and various equipment, aiding in abnormality detection and predictive maintenance based on historical data. Special shape and specification sensors offer customized designs to meet installation environment constraints, providing enhanced environmental durability such as waterproof, oil-proof, high-temperature resistance, and pressure resistance.Measurement Systems and Applied Products: Accelerometers measure the magnitude of mechanical vibration.
