CAPACITIVE PROXIMITY SWITCHES KNS

Product catalog summary

Overview: The document provides detailed information about the KNS series of capacitive proximity switches by di-soric, designed for material-independent detection in manufacturing processes. These switches are suitable for detecting a wide range of materials, both metallic and non-metallic, through non-conductive surfaces.

Specifications: The KNS series includes models with diameters of Ø6.5, M8, and M12, offering both flush and non-flush installation options. They feature a 360° switching indicator, IP67 protection class, and operate within a temperature range of -25 to +70°C. The switches are available with standard plug connectors and cable variants with a 2-meter connecting cable.

Key Features:

Non-contact and wear-free detection of materials.
Reliable operation even in the presence of dirt or strong light interference.
Capable of detecting fill levels of liquids, powders, and solids.
Switching distance adjustable via a multi-turn potentiometer.
Push-pull switching output with 100 mA, NO/NC options.

Applications:

Plug detection: Ensures correct placement of plastic plugs in manufacturing.
Object detection and fill level check: Suitable for non-metallic objects like plastic containers and wafers.
Fill level measurement: Effective for detecting aggressive and harmless liquids in containers.

Technical Data: The document includes a table detailing the design, length, switching distance, and other technical specifications for various models in the KNS series. All models operate at 18 to 30 V and are made from stainless steel.

Installation and Usage: The switches are easy to handle, with a fast start-up process. The potentiometer allows for precise adjustment of the switching distance, with an end stop indicator to prevent over-adjustment.
