– Non-contact– Wear-free– Non-mutually interfering– Bounce-free output signal– LED function display– Senses virtually any material– Detects objects through many
other non-metallic barriers
Capacitive sensorsdetect the change incapacitance caused bythe approach of anobject. Their advantagelies in the abilityto detect virtually anymaterial, from metalsto oils.

A capacitor ... in its traditional form con-sists of two electrode platesand a dielectric, with anon- or poorly conductingmedium in between.Capacitance C = εεεεε (A/d) isdetermined by surface A,
distance d, andthe dielectric constantε ε ε ε ε = (εεεεε0 × εεεεεr).εεεεε describes the dielectric
constant of this medium.
εεεεε0 is the absolut dielectricconstant of empty space(vacuum).
εεεεεr is the dielectric number,a (density dependent)material constant.
... and its effect can beexplained using a step-by-step derivation of itsgeometric shape. The strayfields at the edges of theplates can be ignored forthese purposes.In the middle between twocircular capacitor plates A1
and A2 there is at distance
The sensor electrode
In capacitive sensors ... this "open" capacitor isused as a sensor element.The plate A2 however is con-figured as a ring electrode(housing) concentric to A1 inorder to make the electricalfield symmetrical, and the"intermediate electrode" isthe "actuation element".The "active surface" of thissensor element correspondsto ring electrode A2.
Non-conducting materials ... (plastics, glass as wellas liquids) can be detectedby capacitive sensors, if εr issignificantly greater than ε0;the preceding is based onthe fact that for the lines offield, the path of leastresistance leads across theactuation element.
Since the rated switchingdistance sn is based on agrounded standard targetmade of Fe 360, theswitching distances must becorrected when using othermaterials. Correction factorsfor typical materials are listedin the adjacent table:
If an electrically non-conducting actuationelement (target) enters thesensor field, the capacitancechanges proportionally to εr
and to the immersion depthresp. to the distance to the"active surface". However itnever becomes greater thanfor metals.

d/2 an additional, goodconducting, folded "inter-mediate electrode" Z withthickness D → 0. An appliedvoltage between A1 and A2
generates an electrical field.This impresses voltage U/2in electrode Z. The "inter-mediate electrode" therebyassumes the function of anadditional capacitor plate.This has the effect of chan-ging the capacitor into twogeometrically and electricallyseries connected capacitors.If these partial capacitors areunfolded, plates A1 and A2 lie
next to each other on onelevel and the "intermediatecapacitor" Z on a secondlevel at distance d/2. Theresult is an "open" capacitor.The fields in the capacitorhalves run in oppositedirections.
The formula for capacitanceremains – with the abovedefined premises – valideven for this capacitorgeometry.
Capacitance C as afunction of the distance stilldecreases hyperbolically (as1/d).
If the actuation element(d → ∞; εr = 1, C → 0) isabsent, they run in an arcfrom the middle to the ringelectrode. The path of leastresistance is thereby alsopartially determined by therepelling effect of identicallyoriented lines of field.
The arcs and their distancesbecome greater from insideto outside.

Capacitive sensors
Capacitive sensors detectthe change in capacitanceof an object when it entersthe sensor's electrical field.
This means a capacitivesensor can detect not onlymetal, but even non-conductors whose dielectricconstants are sufficientlylarge.
Properly selected, acapacitive sensor is alsoable to "see through" certainnon-metallic materials.This makes it the classicallevel detector, sensing thepresence or absence ofliquids or granular materialthrough the container wall.
Balluff also offers theappropriate cover nutswhich, once installedin the container, allow thecapacitive sensor to bemounted and later replacedif necessary without un-sealing the vessel.
Inspecting paper, cloth or plasticstrips. From above or below.*
Detecting, counting objects. Inflow or pumping control in waterstorage containers.
Quality and presence sensing incigarette factory. Filter/tobaccook?*
Inspection on packaging lines.Packaging, contents.
Level control in filling applications,controlling the reject station.
Checking for missing labels onthin backing.*
Guiding a knife through metalthread, e.g. for separating cloth.
Level control in plastic or glasscontainers.
Most capacitive sensorsare not designed for flushmounting in metal.
However, the potentiometerson Balluff sensors allow theswitching distance to beadjusted so that even flushmounting is possible.
