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.

Automation without inductive sensors can hardly be imagined. Wear-resistant, reliable non-contact position detection of metallic objects is required wherever automation is used, whether in mechanical engineering, electronics production, automotive, food, or plastics industries.

Senyd offers a wide range of inductive sensors with diverse designs for nearly any application: from standard sensors to sensors with increased switching distance, hygienic sensors, high-pressure sensors, ex-zone sensors for hazardous areas, and factor 1 sensors. Some sensors have an additional ceramic or PTFE coating so that weld spatter, for example, cannot adhere to them. Sensors that are both factor 1 and all-metal are also available. 

Aided by inductive sensors from Senyd, you can automate, monitor, and control processes and conditions at the highest quality, even in extreme environments.

Capacitive sensors detect objects and the fill level of all non-conducting materials, liquids, pellets, and powders directly or through a container wall.

The Smart Level technology of the sensors compensates for moisture, foam and adhesion of all sorts – even through glass and plastic walls up to 10 mm thick. This makes the sensors ideal as fill level sensors for conductive media. And guarantee you high application security.

Our sensors are available in diverse designs, even especially small ones. As adhesive sensors, they fit flexibly to the housing shape and are easily removable.
