The IFM KX5004 is a capacitive NAMUR sensor designed for industrial applications requiring non-contact detection and compatible intrinsically safe operation. Its KX-2015-N configuration includes a 20 m cable for installations requiring extended sensor-to-control distance. The sensor provides a practical solution for hazardous-area automation, process equipment and industrial material detection where reliable capacitive sensing is required.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The KX5004 is part of the KX series of capacitive NAMUR sensors developed for industrial sensing systems. Capacitive detection enables non-contact recognition of suitable objects or materials, while the NAMUR principle supports compatible evaluation equipment. Its 20 m cable configuration provides extensive wiring flexibility for larger machinery, process installations and equipment where the sensor is positioned far from the control system.
The long cable arrangement makes the sensor suitable for installations where standard cable lengths are insufficient. Capacitive sensing provides non-contact detection without mechanical wear, while NAMUR technology supports suitable intrinsically safe circuits. The sensor can be integrated into process equipment, industrial machinery and hazardous-area applications where extended installation distance and dependable object detection are important.
The KX5004 provides a capacitive NAMUR solution with a 20 m cable configuration for extended industrial installations. It is suitable for systems requiring compatible intrinsically safe sensing and non-contact material detection. The industrial construction and long cable make it practical for large machinery and process environments where reliable remote sensor placement is required.
