IFM Electronic KG5044 Capacitive Sensor

The capacitive sensor from IFM Electronic with type number KG5044, also known as a capacitive proximity sensor or level sensor, is an electrical sensor for the non-contact detection of objects. It has dimensions 15 x 3 x 15 cm and weighs 0.1 kg. Capacitive sensors non-contact detect both metallic and non-metallic objects and are suitable for level detection of liquids and bulk materials, as well as for position monitoring. Typical applications are found in process technology for level monitoring in containers, in conveyor technology for material flow control, and in automation technology for the presence detection of workpieces.
