Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi CA30CAN25NA Capacitive Proximity Sensor?

The Carlo Gavazzi CA30CAN25NA is a robust M30 non-flush capacitive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of conductive and non-conductive materials in industrial automation and process applications. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi CA30CA 4th Generation TRIPLESHIELD™ series, it combines a 25 mm rated sensing distance, adjustable sensitivity and complementary NPN outputs in a durable cylindrical PBT housing.

The sensing range can be adjusted from approximately 4–30 mm, allowing the detection point to be optimised for different target materials and installation conditions. Capacitive sensing technology enables the CA30CAN25NA to detect materials including metals, plastics, glass, liquids, powders and granulates, making it suitable for presence detection, level monitoring and material sensing across a wide range of automated equipment.

Operating from a 10–40 V DC supply, the CA30CAN25NA provides complementary NPN normally open and normally closed outputs with an output current capability below 200 mA. Its pre-wired 2 m PVC cable, M30 threaded construction, improved EMC performance, ECOLAB approval and IP67, IP68 and IP69K protection make it well suited to demanding industrial and washdown environments.

Extended-Range Capacitive Detection for Industrial Automation

Capacitive proximity sensors detect changes in capacitance when a target enters the sensor's electrical field, enabling detection of both conductive and non-conductive materials. With its 25 mm rated sensing distance and adjustable range of approximately 4–30 mm, the CA30CAN25NA provides extended detection capability for applications involving liquids, plastics, glass, powders, granulates and other industrial materials.

The non-flush M30 design is particularly useful where greater sensing distance is required, while the complementary NPN normally open and normally closed outputs provide flexibility when interfacing with PLCs and industrial control equipment. TRIPLESHIELD™ technology, enhanced EMC performance and high ingress protection help provide stable operation in demanding factory and process environments.
