  • Versatile mounting options
  • Space-saving installation
  • Snap-in/snap-out without tools

The ultra flat housing with a height of just 6 mm allows installation even in confined spaces, e.g.

  • for level monitoring between a container and a machine part
  • for object detection under a conveyor belt.


To further facilitate the integration of the capacitive sensor into machines and facilities, Baumer offers a matching innovative mounting frame. Using this frame, the sensor can be installed not only with screws but also with cable ties, Velcro fastener or glue. If for example a container needs to be removed for emptying or replaced, the sensor is removed from the frame without tools and can easily be inserted again later (snap-out/snap-in).

Variousfixed sensing distances from 2 to 15 mm supersede a potentiometer and turn the CFDK 25 into a plug-and-play solution. The robust plastic Polyamid 12 housing guarantees a long product life also under demanding conditions.
