Capacitive Proximity Switches

Manufacturer: Contrinex
Category: Capacitive Proximity Switches

Robust and extremely versatile, Contrinex capacitive sensors detect position or presence of conductive and non-conductive materials, including liquids, pastes and bulk solids. Capacitive technology permits detection of targets through thin non-metallic barriers, ideal for controlling packaging and filling processes. Capacitive sensors generate electrostatic fields that change as a target approaches.

The target material increases the sensor capacitance, triggering an internal oscillator at the pre-set sensing distance. Resin-encased with plastic or metal housings, capacitive sensors resist impact, vibration and contamination, allowing contact or non-contact sensing. Engineers specify capacitive sensors as limit switches and non-contact

Capacitive Basic

Contrinex Basic range capacitive sensors deliver not only a reliable solution for all kinds of level sensing tasks but also for object detection and positioning of virtually all materials.

Capacitive High Performance

Contrinex High Performance capacitive sensors deliver a solution even for the most difficult sensing tasks. All models come with an extended medium optimized operating distance for an improved switching behavior.

Description

All capacitive sensors from Contrinex come with a potentiometer to ensure an easy setup. They are available in cylindrical housings sized from M12 to M30 and cubic forms with sensing distances of up to 70mm.
