Capacitive
Sensors
Sensing All Materials

All the Time!
Whats New in TURCKs Line of Capacitives
QF5.5
This is the new flat style capacitive sensor from TURCK. This sensor is small in
size, but long on range. It measures only 5.5 millimeters in width and has an
embeddable sensing range of 10 millimeters. The sensor housing is overmolded
with a rugged polypropylene material and is available with or without
potentiometer.
BCF Noise Immune Capacitive Sensors

The new BCF capacitive sensors are designed to be used in environments
where electrical noise and high static discharge may exist. Improvements made
to the circuitry of our printed circuit board has allowed for increased protection
against radio frequency, high voltage transients, line coupled noise and surges.
K34 Barrels
TURCK now has 34-millimeter diameter capacitive sensors in smooth barrel
plastic housings. They are available in 2-wire AC, 3-wire DC and 4-wire DC
with variable output options. We also offer the BS-34 mounting bracket that
allows for base mounting or side mounting options.
Q10
This is another addition to the growing Q-Pak line. The Q10 fits in size between
the 8 mm and 14 mm low profile sensors. The Q10 is available in DC only with
a fixed 8-millimeter range without potentiometer.
Sense through objects with accuracy!

Package Inspection
One of the major benefits of capacitive sensors
is their ability to sense through low-dielectric
materials. With the sensitivity properly
adjusted, these sensors can be used to see
through an object wall to detect its contents.
From inspecting jars through a cardboard box
to sensing ammonia in a vat - capacitive
sensors are made for these applications. In
addition, capacitive sensors have the ability to
sense most materials including wood, plastics,
cardboard, glass, grain, all metals and most
fluids. The versatility of these sensors can help
you save time and run more efficiently.
Grain and Plastic Pellet Detection

The wide sensitivity band of TURCK sensors
allows for detection of a variety of granular or
powdered materials. Capacitive sensors are
widely used to monitor the level of plastic
pellets in the hoppers of injection molding
machines. TURCKs new BCF line of
sensors are ideal for this application.
TURCK Intrinsically Safe NAMUR sensors are
also used in grain elevators to monitor the
levels of materials ranging from rice and barley
malt to corn and soybeans.
Small Parts Detection

Another great use for capacitive sensors is to detect small items as they
come down the assembly line. They can be used to count product or
sense proper operation of the line. Choose from many styles with
short-circuit and overload protection in AC, DC and Intrinsically Safe
NAMUR.

Capacitive Sensors Work Where Others Dont!

TURCK presents... The industrys most extensive line of capacitive sensors
You may know that TURCK has the broadest product offering in inductive sensors, but did
you also know that we have the most extensive line of capacitive sensors?
TURCKs Q-Pak capacitive

sensors are available in packages up
to 10 times narrower than
conventional barrel-style sensors.
Also our PVDF sensors offer
incredible resistance to harsh
chemical environments found in
the semiconductor and chemical
industries.
Liquid Level Detection

Capacitive sensors have the ability to see through lower dielectric materials, such
as plastic or glass, to detect higher dielectric ones. This allows capacitive sensors to detect
levels of many types of materials either directly through the wall for plastic tanks, or by
utilizing a sight glass or tank well for metal tanks. With TURCKs Intrinsically Safe NAMUR
sensors, PVDF models and Teflon tank wells, even explosive or corrosive materials can be
safely sensed.
Wire Break Detection

TURCK capacitive sensors are ideal for
sensing wire breakage. Our sensors will
detect even the smallest wires of any
metal. The long sensing ranges allow
the wire to bounce during the process
without causing false outputs.
Sensing All Objects All the Time!

Sensitivity Adjustments
Many applications require adjusting the sensitivity of the
capacitive sensor in order to reliably detect the target
material.
Although the potentiometer is factory set for an operating
distance of 0.7 to 0.8 times the rated operating distance, it
can be easily changed. Some sensors even feature a
remote potentiometer, allowing adjustments to be made
in locations away from the sensor.
Most TURCK capacitive sensors are listed as embeddable.
By increasing the sensitivity, the embeddable sensor can
be changed into a non-embeddable version with
enhanced sensing capabilities.
Compensation Electrode
TURCKs capacitive sensors feature a compensation electrode that
minimizes false outputs due to contamination on the sensor face. The
compensation circuitry ignores splashing water or dust buildup that is
common in capacitive sensor applications.

TURCK
Capacitive Sensor - Principles of Operation
Noise Immunity
Capacitive sensors were originally designed for use in level detection applications in areas that were generally far away from other
electrical equipment. As factory automation has become more prevalent throughout industrial markets, these capacitive sensors
have gravitated into new environments where electrical noise levels are greatly increased. Electrical noise can be produced by
various sources including variable frequency drives, electromechanical motors and standard walkie-talkie devices. These noisy
environments can have adverse effects on sensing devices causing them to operate improperly and unreliably
TURCK recognizes this and has developed a new circuit for its capacitive sensors. These new BCF sensors incorporate a
unique filter principle, making them immune to most industrial noise. This principle involves a fixed oscillator frequency
combined with a rectifier filter providing superior noise immunity over the competition.
TURCKs fixed oscillator allows the sensor to maintain a constant frequency regardless of sensitivity adjustment. This fixed
frequency is high enough to ignore most of the standard noise levels seen on plant floors
Electrical noise is mostly symmetrical which makes it easier to identify and separate from the sensors input signal. The TURCK
rectifier filter is able to block this noise allowing only the useful input signal, which is in phase with the oscillator frequency, to
pass.
These two innovative electrical techniques give TURCK the best defense against industrial noise. The list of specifications and test
results below demonstrates how TURCK meets or exceeds all of the rigid standards established by CE. In fact, the criteria set
forth by CE is so stringent that most capacitive sensors offered on the market today cannot pass any or all of these testing
requirements. If you have a capacitive sensor application located in a noisy environment choose the new BCF sensors from
TURCK to ensure your process operates smoothly.

Applications
Liquid Level Control for both explosive and non-explosive materials.
Package Inspection for product content and/or fill level.
Wire-Break Detection for wire sizes down to .003".
Plastic Pellet Detection in a hopper for injection molding processes.
Grain or Food Products Level Detection; intrinsically safe models available.
Small Metal Parts Detection; greater sensing range than comparable inductive sensors.
Operating Principle
The active element is formed by two metallic electrodes positioned much like an opened capacitor (Figure 1).
Electrodes A and B are placed in a feedback loop of a high frequency oscillator. When no target is present, the
sensors capacitance is low, therefore the oscillation amplitude is small. When a target approaches the face of the
sensor, it increases the capacitance. This increase in capacitance results in an increased amplitude of oscillation.
The amplitude of oscillation is measured by an evaluating circuit that generates a signal to turn on or off the output
(Figure 2).
Figure 1

Operating Principle
Capacitance is a function of the surface area of either electrodes (A or B), the distance between the electrodes (d),
and the dielectric constant of the material (e) between the electrodes (Figure 1).
C=
exA
d
C = capacitance of sensor
A = surface area of either electrode
d = distance between two electrodes
e = dielectric constant of material between the electrodes
When a Conductive Target enters the sensors field, it forms a counter electrode to the active face of the sensor,
thus decreasing the distance between the electrodes (d) and increasing their average surface area (Figure 3). The
capacitance with a metal target present is always greater than the capacitance of the circuit in the absence of the
target.
Reduction factors for different metals are not a consideration when using capacitive sensors.
Figure 3
When a Non-Conductive Target enters the sensors field, it acts as an electrical insulator between electrodes A
and B (Figure 4).
The dielectric constant of the material (e) is a measure of its insulation properties. All liquids and solids have a
greater dielectric constant than air (eair = 1). Therefore, the capacitance with a non-metallic target present is
always greater than the capacitance of the circuit in the absence of the target.

Sensitivity Adjustment
Capacitive sensors can be adjusted two ways in order to sense a target consistently.
1.
Physical adjustment - moving the sensor towards or away from the target is the preferred method of adjusting sensitivity
when the sensor is not in direct contact with the target. This allows materials to be moved into or out of range while
leaving the sensor at the factory setting or after re-calibration to the nominal operating distance Sn.
2.
Adjustment of the potentiometer - turning the potentiometer in a clockwise direction increases the sensitivity of the
sensor. The potentiometer is factory-set for an operating distance of 0.7 to 0.8 Sn to a grounded standard target
(Figure 5). It should be adjusted in increments of no greater than a quarter-turn (Figure 6). Increasing the sensitivity
results in a greater operating distance to both conductive and non-conductive targets.
Figure 5
Standard Target
Figure 6
Potentiometer Adjustment
When sensing non-conductive targets, the larger the dielectric constant of a material, the greater the achievable
operating distance (Figure 7). Adjusting the potentiometer affects the total curve; for example, if the potentiometer is
adjusted for less sensitivity, it will have less operating distance to all materials.
Figure 7
In general terms, the larger the dielectric
constant of a material, the greater the
achievable operating distance.
When detecting organic materials the
sensing distance will depend largely on
the water content (ewater = 88).
It should be noted that a large increase in sensitivity will cause the sensor to become nonembeddable, and may result
in an unstable switching point that can be influenced by environmental changes such as temperature, humidity, dust,
etc.
At adjustments of S > Sn, the differential travel (hysteresis) can also increase.

Example Application 1 - Adjustment

Problem:
Can a BC20-K40SR-FZ3X2 be used to sense the presence of ammonia from behind a .125" glass panel?
Solution:
The dielectric constants for these materials can be found on pages 15 and 16.
Dielectric (er) of ammonia:
Dielectric (er) of glass:
20
10
From Figure 7, er = 20 corresponds to 80% Sn; er = 10 corresponds to 60% Sn.

Since Sn = 20 mm for a BC20:
S for ammonia = 16 mm
S for glass = 12 mm
The difference is 4 mm. The glass thickness = .125", or 3.1 mm. This application will work with a 0.9 mm
margin. This means that by adjusting the potentiometer there should be a reasonable distinction between the
glass and the ammonia as seen by the sensor.
To set up the sensor for this application, the sensing face of the sensor should be flush against the sight glass.
1. With no ammonia present (if possible) turn the potentiometer clockwise until the sensor turns on. If the
sensor is
already on, skip step one.
2. Next, turn the potentiometer counter clockwise until the sensor turns off.
3. Now add the ammonia so that it covers the glass panel.
4. Once again, turn the potentiometer counter clockwise, counting the number of turns until the sensor turns
off.*
5. Divide the number of turns by two and turn the potentiometer back clockwise that amount.
Using this process will allow for a margin of error in either direction. If this application had called for
something other than ammonia, like molasses, that tends to leave buildup behind, step 1 above should be
performed with the buildup present
(if possible).
* If sensor does not turn off after 10 full turns, turn back the potentiometer clockwise between 3 to 5 turns.
Minor adjustments may need to be made to achieve desired setting.
Example Application 2 - Mounting

Problem:
Figure 8
A metal tank containing a water-based solution has a 1" outside

diameter sight glass. What sensor and bracket could be used for
monitoring the liquid level?
Solution:
The QF 5.5 flat style can used on non-conductive

tubing up to 1.0 inch in diameter with the standard
mounting straps provided with the sensor (Figure 8).
Other mounting straps for larger diameters are available
upon request (consult factory).

Temperature and Environmental Conditions
Figure 9
Compensation Electrode
In practice, sensors can be affected by water droplets, humidity, dust, etc.,
causing false outputs. To combat this effect each TURCK sensor
incorporates a compensating electrode (C) which forms part of a negative
feedback circuit (Figure 9).
When contaminants are on the sensor face, they affect the sensors main
field, as well as its compensation field. The negative feedback circuit
detects the increase in both fields, and can filter out the effects of the
contaminants.
When a large target comes into the sensors main field, the compensation
field is not affected, thus the negative feedback circuit can distinguish a
difference between the two fields, and the sensor generates an output.
Figure 10
Temperature Influence on Operating Distance
Mounting
Most capacitive sensors manufactured by TURCK are
embeddable, which ensures that the electric field is only
effective in front of the active face. They are suitable for flush
mounting at the factory setting in any material (conductive &
nonconductive).
Figure 11
When sensors are flush mounted, the effect on the operating

distance is minimal and can be overcome by adjustment of the
potentiometer. Minimum separation distances must be
observed to avoid the possibility of interference between the
two sensors fields.
This distance (2xD) can vary depending on potentiometer
adjustment

Operating Distance (Sensing Range) Considerations

The operating distance (S) of the different models is basically a function of the diameter of the sensing coil. Maximum
operating distance is achieved with the use of a standard or larger target. Rated operating distance (Sn) for each model is
given in the manual.
Standard Target
An earth-grounded square piece of carbon steel having a thickness of 1 mm (0.04 in) is used as a standard target to
determine the following operating tolerances. The length and width of the square is equal to three times the rated
operating distance.
Operating Distance = S
The operating distance is the distance at which the target approaching the sensing face along the reference axis causes the
output signal to change.
Rated Operating Distance = Sn

The rated operating distance is a conventional quantity used to designate the operating distance. It does not take into
account either manufacturing tolerances or variations due to external conditions such as voltage and temperature.
Effective Operating Distance = Sr
0.9 Sn Sr 1.1Sn
The effective operating distance is the operating distance of an individual proximity sensor at a constant rated voltage and
23C (73F). It allows for manufacturing tolerances.
Usable Operating Distance = Su
0.72 Sn Su 1.32Sn
The usable operating distance is the operating distance of an individual proximity sensor measured over the operating
temperature range at 85% to 110% of its rated voltage. It allows for external conditions and for manufacturing tolerances.
Assured Operating Range = Sa
0 Sa 0.72Sn
The assured actuating range is between 0 and 72% of the rated operating distance. It is the range within which the correct
operation of the proximity sensor under specified voltage and temperature ranges is assured.
