The IFM MGT201 is a full-metal magnetic sensor designed for long-range position detection. It provides a 100 mm sensing range with the specified magnetic target arrangement. The sensor uses an M18 × 1 stainless-steel housing and operates from 10–30 V DC. Its PNP normally-open output supports up to 200 mA and is designed for industrial switching applications. IP68/IP69K protection makes the MGT201 suitable for demanding hygienic and wet environments.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The MGT201 provides a 100 mm magnetic sensing range, giving it considerably more installation flexibility than compact magnetic sensors. Its sensing principle enables non-contact position detection. The long sensing distance is useful where the sensor cannot be mounted directly beside the moving magnetic target. This allows the sensor to be positioned around machine structures or protective barriers. It is suitable for demanding position-monitoring applications.
The sensor uses a high-grade stainless-steel M18 × 1 housing. Its robust construction is intended for industrial and hygienic applications. The threaded body allows secure mechanical installation. Full-metal construction provides additional mechanical resistance compared with conventional polymer housings. This makes the MGT201 suitable for equipment exposed to cleaning, moisture and mechanical stress.
The MGT201 operates from 10–30 V DC and uses a PNP normally-open output. Its output supports a 200 mA load current. The sensor provides IP68/IP69K protection for demanding wet-area installations. Its M18 construction provides a practical combination of long sensing distance and robust mounting. These characteristics support reliable machine-position feedback in industrial environments.

The MGT201 is designed for demanding environments where water and cleaning processes may be present. Its IP68/IP69K protection supports applications requiring high ingress resistance. The stainless-steel housing is well suited to hygienic machine construction. Its 100 mm sensing range provides installation flexibility around machine structures. This combination is useful in food, beverage and industrial processing equipment.
The M18 × 1 threaded body allows straightforward installation using the sensor's threaded mounting arrangement. Its 60 mm housing length provides a compact form while retaining the long sensing range. Stainless-steel construction improves durability in demanding environments. The sensor can be positioned to detect a magnetic target without direct mechanical contact. This reduces wear at the sensing interface.
