VEGA CAP62 VEGACAP 62 Capacitive rod probe for level detection
$1,000.00
The VEGA VEGACAP 62 Capacitive Rod Probe is a point level switch designed for reliable level detection of liquids and bulk solids across a wide range of industries.
Using capacitive measurement technology, it detects level changes based on dielectric variation, making it suitable for both conductive and non-conductive media. Its partly PTFE-insulated rod probe ensures stable operation and resistance to harsh environments.
With a robust industrial design and adjustable probe length, VEGACAP 62 provides flexible installation and long-term reliability, even in demanding process conditions.
Typical applications include tank level detection, silo high/low level alarms, overfill protection, and dry-run protection systems.
Not Recommended For:
• Continuous level measurement (use VEGACAL series instead)
• Heavy buildup or adhesive media (better use fully insulated probes like VEGACAP 64)
Selection Notes
• Confirm application type: point level detection (high/low level switching)
• Identify medium type: liquids or bulk solids (conductive or non-conductive)
• Select probe length (up to ~6 m) depending on tank or silo height
• Choose process connection, such as threaded (≥ G½) or flange (≥ DN25)
• Verify temperature range (-50 to +200 °C) and pressure conditions
• Select required output type: relay, transistor (PNP/NPN), or two-wire system
