BALLUFF BCS0073 INTRODUCTION
Need to detect and monitor fill levels in containers, pipes, or tanks while in contact with the media? This is not a problem for Balluff capacitive level sensors with media contact. These detect the fill level of granulated materials, powders, viscous, or liquid media, as well as bulk materials. They are suitable for a wide variety of applications, as they are available in a wide range of versions, including cylindrical configurations, immersion probes, hole or flange mounting, and in pressure-rated versions, which are available with a wide variety of plug and cable variants. In addition, their diverse range of housing materials, such as stainless steel, PTFE, and PEEK, ensures the best possible chemical resistance.
You can also find the BCS007F and BCS009J models in the BALLUFF Capacitive Level Sensors With Media Contact.
