The KG5301 is an IO-Link capacitive sensor with a PNP normally closed output. It offers an adjustable 0.5–30 mm sensing range with a 15 mm factory setting. The sensor operates on 10–30 V DC and provides a 30 Hz switching frequency. Its M18 × 1 threaded housing supports non-flush industrial installation. A 2 m PUR cable and IP65/IP67/IP69K protection support demanding automation applications.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The sensor detects targets through changes in capacitance. Its 0.5–30 mm adjustment range provides broad application flexibility. The 15 mm factory setting simplifies initial commissioning. The sensing point can be tuned to suit target and mounting conditions. Non-contact detection reduces mechanical wear at the sensing location.
The KG5301 uses a PNP output with normally closed functionality. This configuration is suitable for control architectures requiring a closed-state output arrangement. The output can switch up to 200 mA continuously. Short-circuit and overload protection improve operational robustness. A 30 Hz switching frequency supports repeated machine detection tasks.
IO-Link enables configuration and parameter management through the automation network. The sensor can provide process data and diagnostic information. This reduces dependence on manual sensor adjustment. Parameter consistency is useful when multiple sensors are installed on similar machines. The interface also supports modern smart-sensor architectures.

The M18 × 1 body provides a standard mounting format. Non-flush installation allows the capacitive sensing field to operate at its specified range. The PUR cable is suitable for industrial cable routing. Multiple protection ratings support a wide range of machine environments. The compact cylindrical design simplifies replacement and integration.
The KG5301 can provide reliable presence information to PLC-based control systems. IO-Link allows parameters to be changed without replacing the sensor. This is useful for machines handling different products. The normally closed output provides a defined switching arrangement. The sensor is suitable for both position and level-monitoring functions.
