When your system requires non-mechanical, high-accuracy level detection—especially with viscous, sticky, or sloshy media—Gems Sensors’ Capacitive Level Sensors deliver unmatched performance with no moving parts, fast response, and zero maintenance.
Ideal for fluids that challenge traditional float-based technologies—such as coolants, chemicals, adhesives, oils, and semi-solids—our sensors provide point-level detection by sensing changes in capacitance at the fluid boundary. This makes them highly reliable in applications where foam, turbulence, or debris can disrupt other sensor types.
Whether installed in compact medical devices, rugged industrial machines, or high-performance automation systems, Gems’ capacitive sensors offer compact form factors, solid-state reliability, and easy integration with control systems.

Capabilities
Wide Technology Compatibility Float-based (reed switch), solid-state capacitive, and electro-optic sensors to suit every application type.
Multiple Mounting & Thread Options Vertical, horizontal, side-entry, flange, and custom fittings to match your tank design.
Compact Designs for Tight Spaces Ideal for small tanks and equipment with strict space constraints.
High Resistance to Vibration, Pressure, and Temperature Proven performance in mobile and industrial equipment.
Materials for Fluid Compatibility Available in plastic, brass, and stainless steel to match your coolant, oil, fuel, or chemical needs.
Factory-Configurable Outputs Open/closed switch logic, voltage types, wire leads, and connectors to fit your system.
Capacitive sensors detect changes in the electrical capacitance caused by the presence or absence of fluid. When the sensor tip or face comes into proximity with a fluid, its capacitance shifts—triggering a switch or signal.
They work with a wide range of fluids, including water-based solutions, coolants, oils, chemicals, adhesives, and viscous media. They’re also suitable for semi-solids or slurries in industrial and food-grade systems.
Yes. Gems offers customizable sensor designs that can be adapted across multiple OEM platforms, helping you streamline sourcing, integration, and support while maintaining consistency across systems.
