M12 capacitive sensors feature extended sensing range

Paul Boughton

Pepperl+Fuchs is introducing a range of capacitive sensors in M12 cylindrical housings with extended sensing ranges. Sensing distances of 8mm are now possible in the 12mm diameter housing style for non-flush mounting.

The stainless steel cylindrical body, coupled with the Peek plastic face, offers excellent resistance to chemicals and cleaning products, making them well suited to applications such as level and overflow detection.

Sensitivity is adjustable to enable the switching point to be moved to suit the application and target material.

Other sensors in the portfolio include a flat-pack style just 5mm thick and with a sensing distance of up to 10mm, as well as numerous rectangular and cylindrical options in AC/DC and intrinsically safe versions.
