The KG5304 is a quasi-flush capacitive sensor designed for compact industrial installations. It provides a 0.5–9 mm adjustable sensing range and a normally closed PNP output. The sensor operates from 10–30 V DC with IO-Link communication. Its M18 × 1 housing provides a 92.5 mm overall length. IP65/IP67/IP69K protection and a 2 m PUR cable support demanding production environments.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The KG5304 is designed for quasi-flush installation. Its 0.5–9 mm sensing range suits shorter detection distances. The factory setting is selected for practical machine commissioning. Capacitive technology supports non-contact material detection. Its compact sensing geometry helps where installation space is limited.
The sensor provides a PNP normally closed output. Its 200 mA output rating supports standard automation loads. Short-circuit and overload protection increase operational robustness. The 30 Hz switching frequency supports repeated detection. This makes it suitable for high-cycle industrial equipment.
IO-Link provides configuration and process-data communication. Parameters can be managed through the machine controller. This reduces manual adjustment during commissioning. Diagnostic information can support preventive maintenance. The sensor is suited to digitally connected automation systems.

The quasi-flush design allows closer integration with surrounding machine surfaces. The M18 × 1 thread simplifies mechanical mounting. The 92.5 mm length provides a compact cylindrical sensor format. PUR cabling supports industrial installation. The design is suitable for equipment where installation space is restricted.
The sensor can detect suitable solids and liquids without direct contact. Its shorter sensing range is useful for close-proximity monitoring. IO-Link enables adjustment and parameter management. The PNP output provides direct PLC compatibility. This combination supports efficient machine automation.
