The LCA series comprises miniature cylindrical capacitive proximity sensors requiring an external amplifier for operation. Housing sizes range from Ø4 to M12 with adjustable sensing distances from 1 mm to 8 mm. Mounting options include flush and non-flush configurations. The sensors operate with a supply voltage of 4 to 8 VDC, have a switching frequency of 100 Hz, and a switching hysteresis of approximately 10% of the sensing distance. Temperature drift is approximately 0.025 mm/°C, with an ambient temperature range of -30 °C to +70 °C. The protection class is DIN 40050 IP67. Connection is via a 2 m, 3 × 0.14 mm² PUR cable. Housing materials vary by model, including V2A, MS/PTFE, or polyurethane.
Capacitive Miniature Proximity Sensors - CYLINDRICAL HOUSING
Miniature cylindrical capacitive sensors offer the same reliable performance as full-sized units, with the added advantage of fitting in much smaller spaces.
Sometimes the smallest components have the biggest effects on equipment and system functions. At Locon, we offer a wide range of miniature capacitive sensors, in cylindrical or wafer-style housings, designed to fit in compact spaces. Due to their small size an external amplifier is required for sensor operation. The amps, sold separately, are available in a variety of outputs to best fit your application needs.
