Baumer capacitive proximity position sensors are used to
detect conductive and non-conductive materials. The sensing distance of the capacitive proximity
sensor may be adjusted by means of a built in potentiometer. Shielded capacitive proximity sensors may be
flush mounted in metal and other materials. They are especially suited for the detection of
non-conductive target materials, such as plastics, wood, glass, etc. As compared to unshielded versions,
shielded sensors have a slightly increased sensitivity to soiling and condensation on the sensor’s face.
