Capacitive Cylindrical sensors C30 Series

Datasensing C30 Series

The C30 Series offers a versatile capacitive detection solution engineered for industrial automation. With a wide sensing range and robust design, these sensors ensure reliable detection across different materials and installation conditions.

Design & Functionality

• Comes in an M30 cylindrical housing (metallic or plastic) to suit standard mountings and industrial layouts.
• Provides adjustable sensitivity, enabling calibration to specific materials, backgrounds or mounting conditions for accurate detection.
• Available in shielded and unshielded models, offering flexibility in installation depending on background structures or space constraints.
• Designed for high noise immunity, ensuring stable operation even in electrically noisy or harsh factory environments.

Total Crossed Beams

(In this sensor category, the equivalent concept is the uniform and stable capacitive detection field rather than actual optical beams.)

• Ensures consistent detection across the rated sensing distance and allows detection of small or thin objects.
• Supports reliable performance even when target materials vary, or mounting/background surfaces introduce interference.

Beam Pitch Options

(For capacitive sensors like the C30, this relates to selectable sensing distances and detection resolution.)

• Nominal sensing distances range from ~4 mm up to ~25 mm, depending on model variant.
• Repeat accuracy is approximately ±5%, and thermal drift is less than 20%, enabling consistent detection performance over time.
• Both shielded and unshielded options further tailor performance to the application: shielded for flush mounting, unshielded for extended reach.

Intrinsic Synchronism

• Built-in electronics provide reverse-polarity protection, short-circuit auto-reset, and ripple tolerance — simplifying installation and reducing wiring errors.
• Time-before-availability is ≤ 200 ms, ensuring the sensor is ready quickly after power-up.

Operational Advantages

• High Sensitivity & Material Versatility: The C30 Series can reliably detect metals, plastics, liquids and powders thanks to its adjustable sensitivity and detection field design.
• Simple Installation & Configurability: The combination of M30 standard form factor, adjustable sensitivity and shielded/unshielded options make the C30 easy to integrate across a variety of applications.
• Applications: Suited for presence detection, level sensing, material verification and automation equipment in sectors such as packaging, automotive, electronics, chemical and general manufacturing. The sensor is particularly effective where material types vary, space may be constrained, and robust industrial protection is required.
