Capacitive sensors
Capacitive sensors detect objects of any material type without contact and monitor levels. In contrast to inductive sensors, which can only detect metallic objects, capacitive sensors can also register non-metallic materials. Various versions of our capacitive sensors are available with a plastic/metal housing. Read more here

Advantages of capacitive sensors
All the advantages of capacitive sensors at a glance:
- Reliable and exact position detection for objects of practically any material, irrespective of colour, gloss, reflective properties and surface texture
- Long service life
- Contactless measurement technique
- High degree of process and operational reliability thanks to increased immunity to interference
- High setting ranges
- Ultra high fabrication quality
- Easy operation and parametrization
- Insensitive to dust and soiling
- Setting range can be set using a potentiometer or teach-key
- Plastic or metal housing for different applications
Application examples for capacitive sensors
Flush-mounted capacitive sensors are especially suitable for detecting non-conductive materials. In contrast, non-flush-mounted capacitative sensors are more suitable for detecting conductive materials and for tasks related to filling levels.
