The IFM MGT203 is a full-metal magnetic sensor designed for reliable long-range position detection. It provides a 70 mm sensing range with the M4.0 reference magnet. The sensor uses a PNP normally-open output and operates from 10–30 V DC. Its M18 × 1 stainless-steel housing provides robust mechanical construction. IP65, IP68 and IP69K protection makes it suitable for hygienic and wet industrial environments.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The MGT203 provides a 70 mm sensing range with the specified M4.0 magnet. This allows position detection even when the sensor cannot be mounted directly against the moving component. Its magnetic sensing principle provides non-contact operation. A response sensitivity of 0.9 mT supports reliable magnetic switching. The sensor is suitable for machine-position and movement monitoring.
The MGT203 uses a full-metal stainless-steel housing with an M18 × 1 threaded body. The sensing face is also made from stainless steel. A PEI LED window provides visible switching indication. Two stainless-steel lock nuts are supplied for secure mounting. This design provides strong mechanical resistance in demanding installations.
The sensor operates from 10–30 V DC and consumes less than 10 mA. Its PNP normally-open output supports 100 mA continuous current. The switching frequency reaches 5000 Hz. Short-circuit and overload protection are integrated. These characteristics provide fast and reliable position feedback.

The MGT203 has an M18 × 1 threaded body with a 60 mm overall length. Its stainless-steel housing provides a robust mounting platform. Two lock nuts allow secure mechanical adjustment. The M12 connector provides a standard detachable electrical connection. This configuration supports straightforward installation in industrial machines.
The sensor supports ambient temperatures from 0 to 100 °C. IP65, IP68 and IP69K protection support use in wet and hygienic environments. The full-metal body is resistant to mechanical impact and vibration. Its design is suitable for applications where high environmental protection is required. The sensor therefore fits demanding food, beverage and industrial automation installations.
