Capacitive Sensors
TURCK capacitive proximity sensors can sense targets where a standard inductive proximity sensor or photoelectric won’t work. They feature non-contact sensing of wood, glass, cardboard, plastics, concrete block, glue, thin wires, silicon wafers, liquid levels through a sight glass and other nonmetal materials. TURCK embeddable sensors are suitable for flush mounting in steel. They also feature solid-state output, high switching frequency, and have no moving parts. TURCK capacitive sensors are available in DC, AC and intrinsically safe models.
EGE capacitive proximity sensors are available as IP 69K sensors up to 90 °C and well suited for corrosive environments. High temperature switches for temperatures up to 200 °C are available as well. Large switching distances up to 120 mm and sensors made from PTFE or PEEK, are well-suited for the food industry. These special sensors are also extremely resistant to chemicals. Analog sensors determine distances. EX-proof sensors in accordance with ATEX are available as dust-EX and gas-EX sensors.
