CAPACITIVE PROXIMITY SENSORS

Capacitive proximity sensors make use of the variation of the parasitic capacity that develops between the sensor and the object being detected.

When the object is at a pre-determined distance from the sensitive side of the sensor, the sensor’s internal circuit begins to oscillate. The oscillation’s rise and fall is identified by a threshold detector that drives an amplifier to provide operation for an external load.

CAPACITIVE SENSOR APPLICATIONS

A capacitive sensor can detect metallic and non-metallic objects (wood, plastic, liquid materials, etc.). The operating can be trimmed, making the sensor useful for specific applications.

CAPACITIVE SENSOR ENCLOSURE OPTIONS

Capacitive sensor enclosures are available in nickel-plated brass & plastic, all plastic, or plastic & PTFE / Stainless Steel (for use in Extreme Temperatures -200 to +250°C).
