The IFM KG5070 is a long-cable IO-Link capacitive sensor designed for remote material and level detection. It provides an 8 mm sensing range with selectable normally open and normally closed PNP output behavior. The sensor operates from 10 to 36 V DC and uses a 10 m PVC cable. Its M18 × 1 threaded body provides secure non-flush mounting. IP65/IP67 protection and digital communication support demanding industrial installations.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The KG5070 is equipped with a 10 m PVC cable for installations where the sensor is located far from the control cabinet. The cable provides a three-wire industrial connection. This eliminates the need for an immediate cable extension in many installations. The 8 mm sensing range supports close-range material detection. The M18 body provides standard threaded mounting.
The sensor uses a DC PNP output with selectable normally open and normally closed operation. It operates from 10 to 36 V DC. Switching frequency is 10 Hz. Short-circuit and overload protection are provided. Reverse polarity protection supports reliable electrical installation.
The KG5070 supports intelligent sensor integration through its IO-Link interface. Its M18 × 1 body measures approximately 77 mm long. It is non-flush mountable and protected to IP65/IP67. The 10 m PVC cable is suitable for remote machine installations. The sensor is designed for industrial level and presence detection.

The 10 m cable is useful when the sensor is located away from the control cabinet. It can reduce the number of cable-extension components required. The three-wire arrangement provides a conventional PNP interface. The threaded M18 body allows secure mounting near the detection point. This makes the KG5070 useful for distributed machine layouts.
IO-Link provides access to sensor configuration and diagnostics. NO/NC selection provides control-system flexibility. The teach function simplifies setup. Electronic locking helps prevent unintended changes. These features support efficient commissioning and maintenance.
