Carlo Gavazzi CA12CLC08BP capacitive proximity sensor with M12 housing, teach-in adjustment and 8 mm sensing distance for industrial automation material detection.
The Carlo Gavazzi CA12CLC08BP is a high-performance capacitive proximity switch designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic and non-metallic materials in industrial automation applications. Featuring an M12 thermoplastic polyester housing and advanced teach-in adjustment, this sensor provides flexible and accurate object detection for demanding industrial environments.
Part of the Carlo Gavazzi CA series, the CA12CLC08BP incorporates TRIPLESHIELD™ sensor protection technology to improve immunity against electrical interference, temperature variations and challenging installation conditions. Its teach-in function allows the sensing point to be adjusted for optimised machine operation.
The sensor operates from a 10–40 V DC supply and provides an adjustable sensing range up to 8 mm. With a cable connection and programmable switching functions, the CA12CLC08BP is suitable for integration into automated machinery, production equipment and material detection systems.
Capacitive proximity sensors detect changes in an electrical field to identify the presence of objects without mechanical contact. This makes them suitable for sensing a wide range of materials including plastics, powders, liquids and other non-metallic objects.
The Carlo Gavazzi CA12CLC08BP combines adjustable sensitivity, robust construction and intelligent protection features to provide dependable sensing performance in modern automation systems. Its compact M12 design allows easy installation in machinery where reliable detection is required.
