Capacitive Sensors from Schneider Electric SCC

Tag : Electric Sensors

Telemecanique capacitive proximity sensors from Schneider Electric Sensor Competency Center (SCC) , Dayton, OH, sense nonmetal objects or level of fluids andgranular material through another object or container. Sensingrange is 2 mm to 15 mm. You can adjust the sensors to eliminate thepresence of the container object, allowing them to sense through abulk material or liquid level. Operating distance is related to thedielectric constant of the object material and the operatingenvironment; the higher the dielectric constant, the easier thedetection. Applications include level sensing for solids or liquidsin food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and packaging industries.
