Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi CA30CAF16PAM1 Capacitive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi CA30CAF16PAM1 is a robust M30 capacitive proximity sensor designed for dependable non-contact detection of conductive and non-conductive materials in industrial automation, process control and material handling applications. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi CA30 TRIPLESHIELD™ series, this sensor combines a large sensing face, adjustable detection range and flexible PNP switching functions for reliable industrial integration.
The CA30CAF16PAM1 provides a 16 mm rated sensing distance and supports both normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC) switching operation through its PNP output configuration. The flush-mountable M30 design enables straightforward installation into machine structures, while the M12 connector provides a convenient and serviceable connection method.
Operating from a 10–40 V DC supply, the sensor is suitable for detecting materials including plastics, liquids, powders, granulates and other non-metallic targets. Its robust thermoplastic polyester housing, IP67 protection, integrated LED indication and TRIPLESHIELD™ technology provide dependable operation in demanding industrial environments.
