The KG5307 is a PNP normally closed capacitive sensor with IO-Link communication. It offers an adjustable 0.5–30 mm sensing range with a 15 mm factory setting. The sensor operates from 10–30 V DC and switches at up to 30 Hz. Its M18 × 1 threaded housing supports non-flush industrial installation. The US/IO configuration provides a practical solution for digitally connected automation systems.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The KG5307 allows the sensing point to be tuned to the target application. Its 0.5–30 mm adjustment range provides considerable installation flexibility. The 15 mm factory setting provides a useful initial configuration. Capacitive sensing supports non-contact detection of suitable materials. This makes the unit suitable for position and level monitoring.
The PNP output is configured as normally closed. It provides 200 mA continuous switching capability. Short-circuit and overload protection support dependable operation. The 30 Hz switching frequency is suitable for repeated detection. The output can be integrated into standard industrial control systems.
IO-Link provides configuration and process communication. Machine builders can manage sensor parameters through the controller. Diagnostic data can support maintenance activities. The interface also simplifies repeated configuration across multiple machines. This makes the sensor suitable for Industry 4.0 applications.
