Capacitive sensors are non-contact detection devices that operate by sensing changes in an electrostatic field. Unlike inductive sensors, they can detect both conductive and non-conductive materials, making them ideal for level sensing applications. Carlo Gavazzi capacitive sensors feature TRIPLESHIELD™ protection, providing exceptional robustness against electrostatic discharge (ESD), radio frequency interference (RFI), and electromagnetic interference (EMI). These sensors are available in standard diameters of 12 mm, 18 mm, and 30 mm, with plastic or metal housings. Output options include AC (typically 20-250 VAC) or DC (10-40 VDC) versions, with NPN or PNP configurations for DC models. Sensing distances range from 2 mm to 25 mm depending on the model and target material. Connection types include pre-wired cables (2 m or 5 m) or M12 connectors, ensuring flexibility in installation.
These sensors are widely used in industrial automation for level detection of liquids (water, oil, chemicals), granular solids (plastic pellets, grain), and pastes. Common applications include tank level monitoring in food and beverage processing, hopper level control in packaging lines, and presence detection of glass or plastic containers in bottling plants. They are also employed in harsh environments such as metalworking and chemical processing, where their robust shielding prevents false triggering from electrical noise. The TRIPLESHIELD™ technology ensures reliable operation even in high-interference environments like welding cells or near variable frequency drives (VFDs).
Key subcategories include cylindrical capacitive sensors (series CA12, CA18, CA30) and rectangular or block-style sensors. The main article codes follow a pattern like CA12SN12TC, where 'CA' indicates capacitive, '12' is the diameter, 'SN' denotes sensing distance (e.g., 12 mm), 'T' for cable output, and 'C' for DC. Other variants include 'A' for AC output and 'M' for M12 connector. Specific models include CA12SN12TC (12 mm, 12 mm range, DC, cable), CA18SAN12DOT (18 mm, 12 mm range, AC/DC), and CA30SN25TC (30 mm, 25 mm range, DC). These sensors are often used with mounting brackets and sensing targets for calibration.
