Capacitive Sensors

🛠Capacitive sensors can be used to detect metal objects as well as nearly all other materials. 

🛠These sensors are often used in applications including level, flow control for detection of liquids, grains and powders.

Standard Capacitive Sensor Product features:

🛠12, 18 and 30 mm cylindrical styles of stainless steel or plastic housings

🛠5mm thin rectangular and long range 80 mm x 80 mm x 40 mm styles

🛠Sensor outputs of 3-wire DC and NAMUR output types

🛠Models with hazardous area approvals

Magnetic Field Sensors

🛠Our magnetic field sensor selection consists of the M12 housing style for traditional magnetic detection applications. 

🛠Also offered is a non-contact, piston detection sensor for use with steel hydraulic cylinders. 

🛠These magnetic sensors offer reliable piston magnet detection and are easily mounted, without the need for mounting slots or holes in the cylinder.
