The IFM ME5015 is a compact magnetic sensor with a 60 mm sensing range. It uses an NPN normally open output and a 2 m PUR cable. The sensor operates from 10...30 V DC and supports a 5000 Hz switching frequency. Its stainless-steel 316L housing provides robust mechanical protection. IP67 protection and a yellow switching LED support dependable industrial operation.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The ME5015 detects a specified magnetic actuator over a 60 mm sensing range. Its magnetic sensing principle provides non-contact position detection. A 1.2 mT magnetic sensitivity is specified for the sensing system. The normally open output provides a straightforward switching signal. This makes the sensor suitable for actuator and position monitoring.
The sensor operates from 10...30 V DC with less than 10 mA current consumption. Its NPN output supports 200 mA continuous current. The switching frequency reaches 5000 Hz. Short-circuit and overload protection are integrated. These characteristics support reliable high-speed machine operation.
The ME5015 uses a stainless-steel 316L housing and stainless-steel active face. Its M8 × 1 threaded body has a 50 mm length. A 2 m PUR cable provides the electrical connection. IP67 protection supports industrial environments with dust and moisture. Two brass lock nuts are supplied for mounting.
