Carlo Gavazzi ACF10PPO is a square capacitive proximity sensor with an adjustable 4–11 mm sensing distance, PNP normally open output, 10–40 V DC supply and integral 2 m cable for industrial automation applications.
The Carlo Gavazzi ACF10PPO is a compact square capacitive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection in industrial machinery, material handling and automation systems. Its capacitive sensing technology enables detection of both metallic and non-metallic materials, making it a versatile solution for applications involving plastics, glass, powders, liquids and other process materials.
The ACF10PPO provides an adjustable sensing distance of 4–11 mm, allowing the sensor sensitivity to be configured for the target material and installation. Its PNP normally open transistor output provides straightforward integration with compatible PLC inputs, controllers and other industrial automation equipment.
Operating from a 10–40 V DC supply with a maximum output current of 200 mA, the ACF10PPO incorporates short-circuit and reverse-polarity protection for dependable operation. A durable thermoplastic polyester housing and integral 2 m cable provide a practical installation solution for industrial sensing applications.
Capacitive proximity sensors detect changes in capacitance caused by an object entering the sensor's electrical field. Unlike inductive proximity sensors, which are primarily intended for metallic targets, capacitive sensors can detect a much broader range of materials, including plastics, glass, wood, powders, granules and liquids.
The adjustable sensing range of the Carlo Gavazzi ACF10PPO makes it particularly useful where sensor sensitivity needs to be matched to different target materials or installation conditions. Its compact square construction, PNP output and wide DC supply range make it suitable for integration into machinery, process equipment and automated material detection systems.
