Capacitive sensors
Capacitive sensors
Capacitive sensors detect objects and materials by changes in electrical capacitance within the sensing area. They are used to check the presence of plastic, wood or metal parts and detect the level of liquids, powders and granules. In suitable applications, they can detect material through non-metallic container walls. Selection considers material properties, wall thickness, sensing distance, deposits and moisture. Sensitivity adjustment, mounting arrangement and electrical output must match the actual operating conditions.
