Results for tag: "Capacitive Level Switch"

The Capacitive Level Switch is a type of sensor used to detect the level of a liquid or solid material. It works by measuring the capacitance of the material, which is the ability of the material to store an electrical charge. The capacitance of the material is then compared to a preset threshold, and when the capacitance exceeds the threshold, the switch is triggered. This type of switch is often used in industrial applications, such as in the food and beverage industry, to detect the level of a liquid in a tank or container. Capacitive Level Switches are typically used in applications where accuracy and reliability are of the utmost importance. They are also used in applications where the material being measured is hazardous or corrosive, as they are not affected by these materials. Some companies that produce Capacitive Level Switches include ABB, Siemens, Pepperl+Fuchs, and Omron. Show Less Read more
