The KG5310 is a quasi-flush capacitive sensor designed for close-range detection. It uses a PNP normally closed output and provides a 0.5–9 mm sensing range. IO-Link communication supports parameterization and process-data exchange. The M18 × 1 body has a 92.5 mm overall length. IP65/IP67/IP69K protection supports demanding industrial installations.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The KG5310 is optimized for close-proximity capacitive detection. Its 0.5–9 mm sensing range supports compact machine layouts. Quasi-flush installation helps integrate the sensing face into surrounding structures. The sensing point can be adjusted during setup. This allows flexible application-specific installation.
The sensor provides a PNP normally closed output. Its 200 mA output rating supports common control inputs. Short-circuit and overload protection improve robustness. A 30 Hz switching frequency supports repetitive operations. The output can be integrated into compatible PLC systems.
IO-Link provides digital configuration and process communication. The sensor supports parameterization through the connected master. Process information can be incorporated into control logic. Diagnostic functions support maintenance activities. This provides a modern alternative to purely manual sensor setup.

The quasi-flush design is useful where sensor protrusion must be minimized. The M18 × 1 thread supports standard machine mounting. The sensor length is 92.5 mm. Industrial protection ratings support harsh environments. The cylindrical format simplifies replacement and installation.
IO-Link provides centralized configuration. Parameters can be adjusted without physically accessing the sensor. This can reduce commissioning time. Diagnostic information can support maintenance teams. The KG5310 is therefore suited to smart industrial machines.
