Patent ID: 8513960

Claim:
A probe for a capacitive sensor device, comprising: an outer sleeve; a probe head arranged within the outer sleeve, wherein the probe head is comprised by: a measuring element with a measuring and front face, wherein the measuring element is made of a metal, a metal alloy, or an electrically conductive ceramic, or is coated at least at the measuring and front face with a metal, a metal alloy, or an electrically conductive ceramic; a first electrically non-conductive isolator element; and a first partial element of a first shield, wherein the first partial element is made of a metal, a metal alloy, or an electrically conductive ceramic; wherein the measuring element, the first isolator element, and the first partial element are adhesively connected to one another and configured as a multilayer, wherein the first isolator element is disposed between the measuring element with the measuring and front face and the first partial element; and a probe body arranged within the outer sleeve, wherein the probe body is comprised by: a second partial element of the first shield made of a metal, a metal alloy, or an electrically conductive ceramic; a second electrically non-conductive isolator element; and a first partial element of a second shield; wherein the first partial element of the second shield is made of a metal, a metal alloy, or an electrically conductive ceramic; and wherein the second partial element of the first shield, the second isolator element, and the first partial element of the second shield are adhesively connected to one another and configured as a multilayer, wherein the second isolator element is disposed between the second partial element of the first shield and the first partial element of the second shield; wherein the probe is connected to a triaxial cable; wherein an inner conductor of the triaxial cable is connected in an electrically conductive manner to the measuring element; wherein a center shield of the triaxial cable is connected in an electrically conductive manner to the first partial element or the second partial element of the first shield; and wherein an outer shield of the triaxial cable is connected in an electrically conductive manner to the first partial element or a second partial element of the second shield.
