Capacitive Proximity Sensors
A capacitive proximity sensor works with a high 
frequency oscillating circuit that creates an electromagnetic field on the active sensor surface by means of a capacitor. When a substantial or fluid substance nears this field a capacitance unbalance occurs and leads to a variation of the amplification in the oscillating circuit. If this amplification exceeds a threshold value, a switching signal is generated.
We are able to offer a wide range of capacitive proximity sensors from a number of manufacturers. Please email us your enquiries and we will offer the most suitable switch for your application.
The EGE range of Capacitive Proximity Switches
Capacitive proximity switches are available as IP 69K sensors up to 90 °C and well suited for corrosive environments.
High temperature switches for temperatures up to 200 °C are available as well.
Large switching distances up to 120 mm and sensors made from PTFE or PEEK, especially well-suited for the food industry, are also part of the product program. These special sensors are also extremely resistant to chemicals. Analog sensors determine distances.
EX-proof capacitive sensors in accordance with ATEX are available as dust-EX and gas-EX sensors.
