VEGA VEGACAP 63 Capacitive rod probe for level detection
$1,150.00
The VEGA VEGACAP 63 Capacitive Rod Probe is a point level switch designed for reliable level detection of liquids and bulk solids, especially in non-abrasive industrial applications.
It uses capacitive measurement technology, detecting level changes based on dielectric variation between the probe and medium. The probe is fully insulated (PE or PTFE), ensuring stable operation even in demanding process environments.
With a robust mechanical design and flexible probe length up to 6 meters, VEGACAP 63 provides reliable switching signals for high and low level detection.
Typical applications include tank overflow protection, silo level monitoring, separator vessels, and process safety systems.
Not Recommended For:
• Continuous level measurement (use VEGACAL or radar systems instead)
• Strongly abrasive or heavily coating media without proper probe selection
Selection Notes
• Confirm application type: point level detection (high/low switching only)
• Identify medium type: liquids or bulk solids (non-abrasive preferred)
• Select probe version and insulation type (PE or PTFE coating)
• Define required probe length, up to approx. 6 m depending on tank depth
• Choose process connection, such as 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 switching
Why Choose the VEGACAP 63
• Reliable Point Level Switching
Capacitive technology detects level changes based on dielectric differences. Therefore, it works across a wide range of media.
• Fully Insulated Rod Probe Design
The probe is completely insulated with PE or PTFE. As a result, it ensures stable operation and reduces interference from the medium.
• Suitable for Liquids and Bulk Solids
It can be used for both liquid tanks and solid silos. Consequently, it provides strong application flexibility.
• Flexible Installation up to 6 m Probe Length
Probe length can be adapted to tank size. Therefore, it is suitable for various industrial vessels.
• Robust Mechanical Construction
Designed for long service life with low maintenance requirements. This ensures reliable operation in industrial environments.
• Wide Industrial Process Compatibility
Handles pressures from -1 to 64 bar and temperatures up to 200°C.
• Multiple Output Options for Easy Integration
Supports relay, transistor, and electronic switching outputs for PLC and control systems.
FAQ
Q: What is VEGACAP 63 used for?
