Why Choose the EMAS SCM30NM1RC2 Capacitive Sensor?
The EMAS SCM30NM1RC2 is an industrial M30 capacitive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic and non-metallic materials. Part of the EMAS SCM series, it combines a robust metal cylindrical housing with a PNP normally-closed output, making it suitable for level monitoring, material detection and presence sensing in industrial automation systems.
The SCM30NM1RC2 provides an adjustable sensing distance of 3–15 mm and uses a non-flush mounting configuration. Capacitive sensing allows the device to respond to a wide variety of target materials, making it particularly useful where plastics, glass, liquids, powders or granular products need to be detected without physical contact.
Designed for 10–30 V DC industrial control circuits, the SCM30NM1RC2 provides a PNP normally-closed (NC) transistor output and is supplied with an integrated 2 m cable. Its M30 threaded metal body provides secure and adjustable installation on machinery, conveyors, tanks, packaging equipment and process automation systems.

Reliable Capacitive Detection for Industrial Automation
Capacitive proximity sensors generate an electrostatic sensing field at the active face and detect changes in capacitance when a suitable target enters that field. Unlike inductive sensors, which are principally intended for metallic targets, capacitive sensors can detect many non-metallic substances including plastics, glass, liquids, powders and granular materials.
The EMAS SCM30NM1RC2 combines this versatile sensing principle with an adjustable 3–15 mm range, rugged M30 metal body and PNP normally-closed output. Its non-flush design and pre-wired 2 m cable make it a practical choice for machine builders and automation engineers requiring dependable material, level or presence detection.
Typical Applications
- Liquid and bulk-material level detection.
- Powder and granular material monitoring.
- Plastic and non-metallic object detection.
- Packaging and filling machinery.
- Industrial conveyor systems.
- Presence and position detection.
- Automated manufacturing equipment.
- PLC-based industrial control systems.
