The KG5302 is an NPN normally closed capacitive sensor with IO-Link communication. It provides an adjustable sensing range of 0.5–30 mm and a 15 mm factory setting. The unit operates from 10–30 V DC and switches at up to 30 Hz. Its M18 × 1 threaded body provides non-flush mounting for industrial machinery. IP65/IP67/IP69K protection and a 2 m PUR cable support harsh production environments.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The KG5302 offers adjustable capacitive detection across 0.5–30 mm. The 15 mm factory setting provides a practical starting point. Its 15 ±10% real sensing range supports predictable setup. Capacitive technology allows contactless detection of suitable materials. The adjustment facility makes the sensor adaptable to different machine configurations.
The sensor uses an NPN normally closed switching output. It provides a 200 mA continuous output rating. Short-circuit and overload protection are integrated. The 30 Hz switching frequency supports fast repetitive detection. This output arrangement can be integrated with compatible PLC inputs and control electronics.
IO-Link provides digital communication for parameterization and process data. The interface simplifies commissioning and maintenance. Sensor parameters can be managed through the automation system. Diagnostic information can also support troubleshooting. This makes the KG5302 suitable for connected industrial equipment.
