EAP Technology for
Condition Monitoring
Parker’s Electroactive Polymer (EAP) Technology sensor s have the ability t o measure high strain applic ations
with low power consumption. F rom joints on lar ge pipes in oil fields or po wer plants, t o wearables in
rehabilitation or medic al applications, the EP A smart sensor t echnology is unique and all ows for monitoring
of movement and s tretch like no other sensor .
EAP smart sensor s work with P arker’s SCOUT™ softwar e to deliver analytics of y our assets right t o your
mobile device, keeping you up-to-date on the health of y our equipment and sys tems.
Evaluation Kits
If you want a demo of the t echnology, you can order your own
evaluation kit. The kits off er you the ability to learn about the
capabilities of the t echnology and e valuate your own applications.

The Technology Parker Hannifin
The EAP film is a fle xible capacitor that acts as a displac ement-to-capacitance 1320 Orleans Drive
transducer. The dielectric polymer exists between two stretchable electrodes. Sunnyvale, CA 94089
As the dielectric film is strained, it thins and e xpands within the ar ea, 408.215.7320
increasing its capacitance. parker.com/eap
