Capacitive proximity/level sensor


Senyd capacitive proximity sensor is a type of sensor that detects the presence or proximity of an object without physical contact. It works by generating an electric field and measuring changes in capacitance when an object enters the field. When an object comes close to the sensor, the capacitance changes, triggering the sensor to detect the object's presence.Capacitive proximity sensors are commonly used in various applications, such as object detection, liquid level sensing, and touchless interfaces. They are preferred for their non-contact operation, high sensitivity, and ability to detect a wide range of materials, including non-metallic objects. These sensors are used in industries such as automotive, food and beverage, and manufacturing for automation and control purposes.

Senyd Rotary Encoder

Rotary encoders are required wherever physical quantities such as rotational speed, angle of rotation, velocity or acceleration are to be monitored. In combination with cable pulls, they can also measure linear movements and lengths.

Rotary encoders from Senyd are used in a wide variety of industries—from mechanical and plant engineering to material handling and the renewable energy sector. Whether heavy-duty, offshore or hazardous areas: Senyd offers the right incremental or absolute rotary encoder for all application requirements. 

With Senyd you can reliably record every movement in your application.

Optical vs. Magnetic Scanning

High resolutions can be easily achieved with Senyd optical rotary encoders. A code disk with radial slits is used for this purpose. An LED sends light through the radial slits to a receiver located on the other side of the code disc. The rotation of the disk modulates the light, and the receiver converts it into an electrical signal.

The magnetic rotary encoders from Senyd are particularly robust and therefore ideally suited for use in harsh environments. Due    to energy harvesting, the magnetic absolute rotary encoders do not require an external power supply to save their current position. As a result, they perform reliably even in the event of power failures.
