The KG5305 is a quasi-flush PNP normally open capacitive sensor. It provides a 0.5–9 mm sensing range for close-proximity detection. The sensor operates from 10–30 V DC and communicates through IO-Link. Its M18 × 1 threaded body provides a 92.5 mm length. IP65/IP67/IP69K protection and PUR cabling support industrial automation environments.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The sensor is designed for shorter capacitive detection distances. Its 0.5–9 mm range is suitable for compact machine layouts. Quasi-flush mounting reduces interference from surrounding metal structures. The sensing point can be adjusted for the target application. This provides flexibility for position and material detection.
The KG5305 provides a PNP normally open output. The 200 mA continuous output rating supports common industrial inputs. Integrated short-circuit and overload protection improve operating stability. Its 30 Hz switching rate supports repeated machine cycles. The output can be used directly with compatible PLC inputs.
IO-Link enables digital parameterization and process monitoring. The sensor can be configured through an IO-Link master. Device data can be managed centrally. Diagnostic functions support machine maintenance. This makes the sensor suitable for smart factory architectures.
