Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi CB32CLN20STAX Capacitive Proximity Sensor?

The Carlo Gavazzi CB32CLN20STAX is an ATEX capacitive proximity and level sensor designed for reliable detection of solid, liquid and granulated materials in demanding industrial applications. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi CB32CLN TRIPLESHIELD™ series, it combines an extended adjustable sensing range with a 120 V AC-class supply and SPDT relay output.

The CB32CLN20STAX provides a 20 mm maximum sensing distance with an adjustable 4–20 mm sensing range. Capacitive sensing technology allows it to detect conductive and non-conductive materials, making it particularly suitable for level monitoring of powders, grains, granulates, liquids and other process materials in silos, hoppers and storage vessels.

Designed for non-flush mounting, the CB32CLN20STAX has a 100–135 V AC rated supply range and a 2 A / 240 V AC SPDT change-over relay output. This model operates without an integrated time delay, while its 2 m cable, 32 × 101 mm PBT housing, TRIPLESHIELD™ protection, ATEX approval and IP67 protection rating provide a robust solution for industrial and agricultural material detection.

Key Advantages

  • 4–20 mm adjustable sensing range for flexible material and level detection.
  • 100–135 V AC supply range for 120 V AC-class industrial control systems.

Reliable Capacitive Level Detection for Hazardous-Area Applications

Capacitive proximity sensors detect changes in capacitance when material enters the sensing field. This enables the Carlo Gavazzi CB32CLN20STAX to detect a broad range of conductive and non-conductive substances, including solids, fluids and granulated products, making it especially useful for industrial level monitoring.

The CB32CLN20STAX combines an adjustable sensing range with an SPDT relay output that can simplify integration into industrial control circuits. Its ATEX-approved construction and TRIPLESHIELD™ sensor protection make it particularly suitable for appropriate dusty industrial and agricultural environments where reliable material detection is essential.

Typical Applications

  • Hazardous-area level detection involving explosive dust atmospheres.
  • Grain, feed and agricultural material monitoring.
  • Powder and granulate detection.
  • Hoppers, silos and storage vessels.
  • Solid and liquid level monitoring.
  • Conveyor and materials handling systems.
  • Processing, dosing and filling equipment.
  • Industrial process automation.
