Capacitive proximity sensors CQ

Category Tag
  • Non-contact level measurement, even through container or tank walls, which eliminates drilling holes and thus reduces installation time
  • Durable housing withstands harsh industrial applications, reducing maintenance costs
  • Quick and easy adjustment of the switching point – via pushbutton, remote teach for the CQ28 and via potentiometer for CQ35 – saves time
  • Simple and safe detection alternative to photoelectric and inductive sensors in applications such as detecting product in a sealed box, container or tank

Overview

Capacitive proximity sensors can detect all types of material: powder-based, granulated, liquid, and solid โ€“ even through plastic walls. SICKโ€™s capacitive proximity sensors also feature high electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), which prevents incorrect switching.

CQ sensors feature rectangular housings that are suitable for all manner of installation conditions.
