LEUZE CAPACITIVE SENSORS:

Basic Sensors:

Operating range 1-30 mm, switching frequency up to 100 Hz
Certifications: CE
Housing material: Plastic / brass, nickel-plated
Connector and cable variants

A capacitive sensor’s operation is based on changes in the electrical field surrounding its active zone. An electrostatic field is created when current is applied to the capacitor plate located beneath the button. This responds to variations in capacitance caused by an inserted object. Contactless detection of any form of object is possible, and measurement variables relevant to production, such as fill levels, can be relayed to the control. The LCS-2 basic series cylindrical sensors provide accurate detection in all conventional applications for position detection and fill level monitoring, such as packing systems or laboratory automation. The capacitive sensors of are available in a variety of sizes and connecting types.

Advanced Sensors:

Operating range 1-30 mm, switching frequency up to 100 Hz, available with IO-Link
Certifications: UL / CE
Housing material: Plastic / stainless steel / Teflon (PTFE)
Connector and cable variants

Leuze Capacitive Sensors operate in a contactless, shape-independent, and wear-free manner. Because detection is reactionless, it has no influence on the product. They are also impervious to interference and pollution, such as dust in the air. As a result, they offer excellent interference rejection and are suitable for use in tough industrial situations. The LCS-1 capacitive sensors in the Advanced category are now available as IO-Link models with a teach button for variable switching distance setup and permanent process optimization. Furthermore, variants with Teflon housing (PTFE) can be employed in high chemical stress environments, such as the semiconductor industry.
