Non-contact capacitive sensors with nickel-copper housing | for detection of metallic and non-metallic objects in automation
-
Non-contact capacitive sensors – advanced sensors designed to detect both metallic and non-metallic materials (e.g., plastic, glass, wood, liquids). They operate on the electric field principle, allowing object detection without direct contact – preventing wear, mechanical failures, and ensuring longer service life.
The sensors have a durable nickel–copper housing that provides resistance to environmental influences, vibration, dust, and moisture. Due to their precision, reliability, and versatility, capacitive sensors are widely used in automation, manufacturing, industry, warehouse equipment, robotics, and even household systems – for example, for monitoring liquid levels or container filling.
Functions and operating principle
Detects both conductive (metallic) and non-conductive (non-metallic) objects.
Operates based on changes in electric field capacitance.
Responds to approaching objects even through thin insulating materials (e.g., glass, plastic).
Offers high sensitivity and fast response.
Can be used in both single-phase and three-phase automation systems (via controllers or relay inputs).
Applications
For home users / technicians: Ideal for monitoring water or liquid levels, non-contact material detection, or presence sensing.
For engineers / automation designers: Useful for production line control, packaging, dosing, and robotic systems. Capacitive sensors efficiently detect objects of different shapes and materials, regardless of color or surface structure.
For electricians / installers: Easy integration into existing systems via PNP/NPN outputs or relay controllers. Convenient cylindrical mounting.
Advantages:
Detects a wide range of materials – from metal to plastic or liquids
Non-contact operation – longer service life, no mechanical wear
High resistance to dust, moisture, and vibration
Robust nickel–copper housing – professional design and reliability
Versatile applications: home, industrial, automation systems
Accurate and fast response, stable operation under various conditions
Disadvantages:
Shorter detection distance for metallic objects compared to inductive sensors
Sensitivity adjustment required depending on the material type (sometimes manual)
Non-contact capacitive sensors with nickel–copper housing – a universal, safe, and highly reliable solution for detecting both metallic and non-metallic objects without direct contact.
Thanks to their versatility, compactness, and durability, these sensors are suitable for automation, manufacturing, industrial, logistics, agricultural, and even household systems where reliable detection or liquid level monitoring is required.
