Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi CA18CLN12TOM6 Capacitive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi CA18CLN12TOM6 is an industrial M18 non-flush capacitive proximity sensor from the TRIPLESHIELD™ range, designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic and non-metallic materials. It provides a rated sensing distance of 12 mm, adjustable from 3–12 mm, making it suitable for level sensing, material detection and presence monitoring in industrial automation.
Designed for 20–250 V AC operation, the CA18CLN12TOM6 features a 2-wire SCR normally open output with a maximum output current of 500 mA. Capacitive technology allows the sensor to detect conductive and non-conductive targets such as liquids, powders, granulates, plastics, glass, paper and metals.
The sensor uses a cylindrical M18 threaded thermoplastic polyester housing with non-flush mounting and an M12 connector for convenient installation and replacement. A 10 Hz switching frequency, yellow LED indication, high noise immunity, transient protection and IP67 enclosure protection support dependable performance in demanding industrial environments.
