Baumer Capacitive Sensors in a plastic housing are advanced non‑contact sensing devices designed for reliable detection of a wide range of materials, including liquids, solids, and bulk products. These sensors generate an electrostatic field and detect changes in capacitance caused by objects entering the field, allowing them to sense materials irrespective of color, transparency, or surface properties. Their plastic housings provide excellent resistance to environmental factors such as dust, dirt, moisture, and light contamination, making them ideal for robust industrial automation applications.
With a broad selection of cylindrical and rectangular designs, these capacitive sensors offer both flush and non‑flush mounting styles, flexible connection options, and a range of sensing distances up to approximately 30 mm through non‑metallic walls. The lightweight plastic housing simplifies installation while maintaining durability and versatility across diverse tasks such as level detection through container walls, presence detection of non‑metallic objects, and fill‑level monitoring in tanks and hoppers.
