In the past, capacitive sensors for automotive electronics were rarely used, as they were deemed to be hard to control, difficult to read out, sensitive to aging, and temperature dependent. On the ...

If you’re the person tasked with controlling the level of fly ash in collection hoppers, you know how difficult the application can be. What at first looks like a simple measurement quickly proves to ...

Compact, economic and quick to install, SICK’s CQF16 capacitive level sensor has been developed to provide a universal, non-contact solution wherever the fill level of water-based liquids must be ...

Sensortechnics’ new CLC capacitive level sensor continuously measures the fill level of liquids as well as granular or pulverized materials. The miniature sensor can be easily mounted to the outside ...

As with traditional mechanical switches, a user's interface experience with a capacitive sensor is directly related to the way the sensor responds (sensitivity) upon contact under all operating ...

This paper describes the design and characterisation of a long-range capacitive displacement sensor, NanoSensor® model NXE2. Special emphasis is placed on the design features and metrological ...

Depending upon the distance between the surface of a capacitance probe and a target source, the electrical capacitance that is formed between these two objects will vary. In an effort to improve ...

Capacitive sensing is a contactless-sensing technique with numerous applications, ranging from proximity sensing (Fig. 1), gesture recognition, automotive rain sensors, and remote liquid-level sensing ...

The need for accurate and reliable level measurement systems is increased by the demands of advanced automated processing systems, more stringent process control and strict regulatory requirements. By ...

What’s the difference between a transmitter and a sensor? Nine different types of sensor transmitters. How does each type of transmitter work? What are the components of each transmitter type? Sensors ...
