Accurate level control is a main demand in many industrial applications. Among the available technologies, capacitive level sensors are one of the most versatile, reliable, and durable solutions. In this article, we’ll explore how they work, when to choose them, and the benefits they offer, with a focus on CAMLogic's dedicated solution.
Capacitive sensors detect the presence of a material by measuring the variation in electrical capacitance between two conductive elements. When a material (solid or liquid) with a dielectric constant different from air enters the sensor’s field, the capacitance changes. Once a threshold is exceeded, the sensor sends an output signal.
Compared to technologies with moving parts, capacitive sensors:
However, choosing the right sensor model requires evaluating the material type and environmental conditions.
Among CAMLogic’s solutions, the PFG06 is a capacitive level sensor specifically designed for solid materials detection. It is ideal for industrial applications requiring accurate level detection without direct contact with the product.
