Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi CA18GLF08NA Capacitive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi CA18GLF08NA is a robust M18 capacitive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection and level sensing in demanding industrial applications. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi CA18 TRIPLESHIELD™ series, it combines an adjustable sensing range with complementary NPN outputs and a chemically resistant PVC housing.
The CA18GLF08NA is a flush-mountable sensor with an adjustable sensing distance of 3–8 mm. Capacitive sensing technology enables detection of both conductive and non-conductive materials, making this model particularly suitable for monitoring liquids, powders, plastics, glass and other process materials.
Operating from a 10–40 V DC supply, the sensor provides complementary NPN normally open and normally closed (NO+NC) outputs with a maximum output current of 200 mA. Its grey M18 PVC housing, integrated 2 m PVC cable, 30 Hz operating frequency and IP67 protection rating provide a durable sensing solution for industrial machinery and process automation.
