TYPICAL SENSOPART
Capacitive sensors are suitable for the detection of metallic and
non-metallic objects of all types. Even highly transparent glasses
or liquids are easy to detect with a capacitive sensor. Only the
dielectric conductivity of the target material is relevant: the greater
the dielectric constant of a material, the higher the possible
switching distances or the more reliable the detection.

•t Switching distances from 0.1 to 30 mm
•t Robust cylindrical stainless steel housings (6.5 to 30 mm)
•t Easy mounting thanks to conventional cylinder construction
•t Simple sensitivity adjustment via potentiometer
•t Various designs for flush and non-flush mounting

The measurement of filling levels is among the classic applications
of capacitive sensors because many liquids have comparatively
high dielectric constants. Under certain circumstances it is also
possible to measure from outside the container because capacitive sensors can, so to speak, see through walls. They are also
used for detecting solids such as wood, paper and plastics. They
are found in the most varied of industrial sectors due to their
great immunity to interfering factors of all types. SensoPart offers a wide range of capacitive sensors in cylindrical housings for
all areas of use.
