introduction Capacitive sensors are used in machines, installations and vehicles for monitoring the levels of liquids, pastes and bulk material. These materials can even be detected through non-metallic dividing walls. In addition, capacitive sensors are suitable as limit switches, contact-free position switches, for monitoring and positioning, as pulse generators for counting purposes, distance and speed measurement, and much more. operating principle The electrodes at the device’s sensing face permit the sensor to detect the dielectric conditions in its close surroundings. Depending on the...
