The IFM MFT204 is a full-metal magnetic sensor designed for demanding industrial and pressure-intensive applications. It provides a 60 mm sensing range when used with the specified M4.0 magnet. The sensor uses a PNP normally open output with a 200 mA current rating. Its full-metal stainless-steel construction supports applications requiring high mechanical robustness. The model is rated for pressures up to 100 bar and uses gold-plated contacts.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The MFT204 uses a complete metal housing for improved mechanical resistance. The cylindrical Ø12 × 60 mm format allows compact machine installation. Its sensing system detects the specified magnetic actuator over 60 mm. The stainless-steel construction is suitable for demanding machinery. This design is particularly useful where plastic sensor housings are less suitable.
The MFT204 is rated for a pressure of up to 100 bar or 10 MPa. This enables use in applications involving high-pressure mechanical systems. The full-metal construction supports the pressure-resistant design. Magnetic position detection remains non-contact. This makes the sensor useful for demanding actuator-position applications.
The sensor operates from 10...30 V DC. Its PNP normally open output provides up to 200 mA continuous current. Switching frequency reaches 5000 Hz. Short-circuit and overload protection are integrated. These features provide reliable electrical performance.
