Carlo Gavazzi CA18CLN12PA Inductive Proximity Sensor

Carlo Gavazzi CA18CLN12PA is a capacitive proximity sensor in a compact M18 cylindrical housing with a 12 mm sensing range and an adjustable setpoint up to 12 mm. It operates on a 10–40 VDC supply and delivers a PNP output with a configurable NO/NC function, shipped with a 2 m unshielded cable for easy integration. The plastic housing and threaded M18 construction suit dry or moist industrial environments, while the capacitive sensing principle enables reliable detection of non-conductive targets—including liquids, plastics, wood, and powders—within its range. Common applications include level sensing and presence detection on packaging lines, containers, and other non-metallic components in automated systems.
