DataSensing – CT Series

Cylindrical Capacitive Sensor M30

Brand : Datasensing

The DataSensing CT Series consists of cylindrical capacitive tubular sensors designed for detecting a wide range of materials including plastics, liquids, powders, granular substances, and metallic objects. Capacitive sensors like the CT Series respond to changes in the electrical field when the target material enters the sensing zone, allowing detection of both conductive and non‑conductive materials. Their tubular form factor makes them easy to mount in machines, conveyors, packaging lines, and material handling equipment where compactness and robustness are required.

The CT Series offers adjustable sensitivity to fine‑tune the detection range according to the specific material and installation conditions, improving performance and reducing false triggering. With PNP or NPN output options and normally open (NO)/normally closed (NC) switching, these sensors are suitable for integration with PLCs and industrial control systems. Standard IP67 protection and rugged housing enable reliable operation in environments with dust, moisture, or vibration, making the CT Series a versatile choice for level sensing, object presence detection, and automation monitoring.
