Proximity Sensors prevent false switching.

Press Release Summary:




Capacitive sensors come in 3 designs: CM 18 in M18 cylinder, CM30 in M30 round housing, and CQ 35 in 35 mm plastic cube. All have IP67 enclosure rating and are suitable for harsh ambient conditions. With non-flush mounting, ranges of sensors are 3-12 mm for CM 18 and 4-25 mm for CM 30 and CQ 35. Response sensitivity can be adjusted with infinitely variable potentiometer. All sensors have UL and CSA approvals and are offered with M12 connectors or 2 m connection cables.

Featuring Capacitive Proximity Sensors from SICK With Increased Switching Distances and High EMC



The highlights of the capacity proximity sensors from SICK are high electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), increased switching distances of up to 25 mm and a choice of designs for flush and non-flush installation. Their high EMC reliably prevents false switching due to interference.

Three different sensor designs are available: the CM 18 in an M18 cylinder, the CM 30 in an M30 round housing and the CQ 35 in a 35 mm plastic cube. These sensors all have an IP 67 enclosure rating and are suitable for harsh ambient conditions. With non-flush mounting the ranges of the sensors are 3-12 mm for the
CM 18 and 4-25 mm for the CM 30 and CQ 35. The response sensitivity can be adjusted with the infinitely variable potentiometer. All capacitive proximity sensors have UL and CSA approvals and are available with M12 connectors or 2 meter connection cables.

Capacitive proximity sensors are ideal for level measurement and product presence verification. The capacitive sensors are fully potted for improved vibration resistance, increased shock resistance and IP 67 wash down protection. They can be used for liquid level control within a container and for level control of
powder or granules within a container.

With its industrial proximity sensor line, SICK, Inc. is the only U.S. manufacturer to offer a complete range of photoelectric (including luminescence, color, contrast and distance sensors) and proximity sensors. SICK's extensive line includes inductive proximity, capacitive proximity, magnetic proximity and magnetic cylinder sensors featuring non-contact operation and high reliability. Now, all SICK industrial proximity sensors feature a lifetime warranty. SICK's 50 years of innovation in photoelectric sensors, combined with this comprehensive proximity line, leave very few applications beyond SICK's capabilities.
