Turck capacitive sensors

Click2Contact

Turck is expanding its range of capacitive sensors, now offering 18 and 30 mm capacitive barrel sensors with teachable capabilities. The sensors come in two variants — teach-by-wire or teach-by-button.

The teach-by-button variant can be taught by a single press of a button, saving installation and configuration time. Both present and absent media can be taught for a higher sensitivity teach. The variant without a push-button can be taught either by a teach adapter or teach-by-wire (pin 5), which allows for a tamper-resistant installation. Each variant is available in either PNP or NPN.

The 18 mm version offers a 5 mm sensing range when flush mounted and a 7.5 mm range when not flush mounted. The 30 mm version offers a 10 mm sensing range when flush mounted, with a sensing range of 15 mm when not flush mounted. The expanded range can be switched between NC and NO, and provides optical programming feedback through LEDs.
