Overview
The Baumer CFDK 25G1125/KS35LN4 is a precision capacitive proximity sensor engineered for industrial automation and motion control. Featuring an 8 mm nominal sensing distance and flush mounting, this sensor delivers reliable non-contact detection in space-constrained applications. The CFDK 25 series has only a 6mm installation height, making it suitable for applications where space is a limiting factor.
