The IFM KG0010 is a cylindrical AC/DC capacitive sensor with a normally closed output. It provides an 8 mm sensing range for non-contact detection of dry bulk materials and liquids. The sensor operates from 20 to 250 V AC/DC using two-wire technology. Its M18 × 1 PBT housing provides a compact threaded mounting solution. A 2 m PVC cable and IP67 protection support dependable industrial installation.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The KG0010 provides an 8 mm sensing range. The real sensing range is 8 ±10% and the operating distance is 0 to 6.5 mm. Hysteresis is 1 to 15% of Sr. Switch-point drift is -15 to 15%. The sensing range is suitable for level and material-presence applications.
The sensor provides a normally closed AC/DC switching function. It operates from 20 to 250 V AC/DC using two-wire technology. Continuous output current is 150 mA on AC and 100 mA on DC. Switching frequency is 25 Hz on AC and 50 Hz on DC. Short-circuit and overload protection are not integrated.
The sensor uses an M18 × 1 threaded PBT housing measuring 84 mm in length. It is designed for non-flush mounting. A yellow LED indicates switching status. The 2 m PVC cable provides a direct electrical connection. IP67 protection supports industrial level and presence detection.

The normally closed output provides an inverse switching state compared with NO sensor versions. This is useful in control systems requiring NC logic. The two-wire AC/DC design simplifies compatible wiring. The 8 mm sensing range provides close-proximity detection. The yellow LED assists commissioning.
The M18 × 1 threaded body provides secure mechanical mounting. PBT construction provides a practical industrial enclosure. IP67 protection helps protect against dust and water ingress. The 2 m PVC cable provides a direct connection. This makes the KG0010 suitable for standard industrial machine installations.
