Capacitive proximity sensors are non-contact sensors that generate an electrostatic field to detect metal and non-metal objects. Using two conduction plates, they sense the change in capacitance when an object moves within their sensing range. They can even sense through insulating materials, such as wood or plastic, and offer an ideal solution for non-invasive detection of liquid, pellet, and powder levels as they can be mounted externally and sense through storage container walls. Flush-mounted sensors are embeddable, while non-flush sensors allow longer sensing distances, are non-embeddable, and their sensing face must protrude from the mounting substrate.
