The IFM MS5010 is a compact rectangular magnetic sensor for non-contact position detection. It has a 60 mm sensing range when referenced to the M4.0 magnet. The sensor uses a PNP normally-open output and operates from 10–30 V DC. Its 28 × 10 × 16 mm PBT housing and M8 connector support compact machine installation. IP67 protection and a 5000 Hz switching frequency make it suitable for fast industrial position sensing.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The MS5010 uses magnetic sensing for non-contact detection of moving components. Its sensing range is 60 mm when measured with the specified M4.0 magnet. The sensor is designed for repetitive machine-position monitoring. Non-contact operation reduces mechanical wear during continuous switching. This makes it suitable for automated machinery and production equipment.
The sensor supports switching frequencies up to 5000 Hz. This high switching capability allows it to monitor rapid machine movements. Its PNP output provides direct compatibility with common industrial controller inputs. The normally-open switching function gives a straightforward position signal. These characteristics make the MS5010 useful for high-cycle automation.
The MS5010 uses a 28 × 10 × 16 mm rectangular PBT housing. Its M8 connector provides a compact electrical interface. A yellow LED indicates the switching condition. The small rectangular design allows installation close to machine structures. This makes it useful where conventional cylindrical sensors are difficult to mount.

The MS5010 operates from a 10–30 V DC supply and provides a PNP switching output. Its switching output supports up to 200 mA load current. The high 5000 Hz switching frequency allows rapid position changes to be detected. The sensor is intended for three-wire DC switching applications. These characteristics support reliable integration into industrial control systems.
The rectangular PBT housing provides a lightweight and compact construction. IP67 protection enables operation in industrial environments with dust and temporary water exposure. The M8 connector provides a secure detachable connection. The operating temperature range is -25 to 75 °C. The sensor is therefore suitable for a broad range of factory automation applications.
