Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi CA18CLF08TOM6 Capacitive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi CA18CLF08TOM6 is a robust M18 capacitive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of conductive and non-conductive materials in industrial machinery and process automation. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi CA18 TRIPLESHIELD™ series, this flush-mountable sensor combines adjustable sensitivity with a two-wire SCR output for dependable AC switching applications.
The CA18CLF08TOM6 provides a rated sensing distance of 8 mm, adjustable over a 3–8 mm range to suit different target materials and installation conditions. Its normally open SCR output and two-wire connection make it particularly suitable for AC control circuits, while an integrated LED provides convenient visual indication of sensor operation.
Operating from a wide 20–250 V AC supply, the sensor features a threaded M18 thermoplastic polyester housing, flush mounting and an M12 connector. TRIPLESHIELD™ technology provides high immunity to electrical interference, while transient protection and an IP67 enclosure rating support reliable operation in demanding industrial environments.

Reliable Capacitive Detection for Industrial Automation
Capacitive proximity sensors detect changes in the electrical field at the sensing face, allowing them to identify many conductive and non-conductive materials without physical contact. The CA18CLF08TOM6 can therefore be used to detect plastics, glass, liquids, powders, granulates and other materials that cannot always be detected using conventional inductive proximity sensors.
The adjustable 3–8 mm sensing range enables sensitivity to be matched to the target and application, while the flush M18 design allows convenient installation into machinery and equipment. Its wide AC supply range, SCR switching output, TRIPLESHIELD™ construction and transient protection make the CA18CLF08TOM6 particularly suitable for dependable level and presence detection in industrial control systems.
Typical Applications
- Level detection of liquids, powders and granular materials.
- Plastic processing and manufacturing machinery.
- Packaging and filling equipment.
- Glass, plastic and non-metallic object detection.
- Industrial conveyors and material handling systems.
- Presence and position detection in automated machinery.
- Process control and production equipment.
- OEM machinery using AC sensor control circuits.
