Balluff Rolls Out Broadest Capacitive Sensor Line Florence, KY (June 2008): Balluff is introducing a new capacitivesensor line for proximity and level detection applications. Withover 250 models to choose from, it's the most extensive capacitivesensor line available. Offering a wide variety of body styles,sensing ranges, harsh environmental ratings, and advancedfunctionality, this expansion of the Balluff technology portfoliocreates an unprecedented single-source solutions capability forindustrial sensor applications.

Balluff's level-control capacitive sensors can detect solids orliquids through the walls of non-metallic containers, withoutdirect contact to the target material. Advanced versions canreliably detect true liquid levels while ignoring false signalsresulting from foaming, material build-up, clumping solids, orfilm-forming liquids inside (or outside) the container. Balluff'scapacitive proximity sensors can detect metallic or non-metallictargets at distances up to 25mm, independently of color or surfacetexture.

Standard housing materials include PVC, PBT, POM, and stainlesssteel. Advanced housing materials such as PTFE and polypropyleneare available to prevent premature sensor disintegration fromexposure to harsh chemical agents.

Special application types include level and proximity sensors forhigh temperature environments (up to 480
