The IFM MS5011 is a compact magnetic sensor for non-contact position detection in industrial automation. It provides a 60 mm sensing range and a PNP normally-open switching output. The sensor operates from 10–30 V DC and supports switching frequencies up to 5000 Hz. Its 28 × 10 × 16 mm PBT housing provides a compact installation format. A 2 m cable and IP67 protection make it suitable for general machine-position monitoring.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The MS5011 detects magnetic fields without mechanical contact. Its 60 mm sensing range enables position monitoring of moving machine components. The sensor uses a normally-open PNP switching output. Non-contact operation reduces mechanical wear and supports repetitive switching. This makes the MS5011 suitable for general industrial automation.
The sensor uses a 28 × 10 × 16 mm rectangular PBT housing. Its compact size makes it suitable for restricted machine spaces. The 2 m cable provides a ready-to-wire connection. The three-wire electrical design supports straightforward PLC integration. This construction is useful for simple machine-position applications.
The MS5011 supports switching frequencies up to 5000 Hz. It operates from a 10–30 V DC supply. The PNP switching output is rated for 200 mA. These characteristics allow the sensor to monitor fast machine movements. The sensor is therefore suitable for high-cycle automation equipment.

The MS5011 uses a 2 m cable for direct machine wiring. The cable-based design eliminates the need for a separate connector cable. Its three-wire PNP configuration is compatible with common industrial control inputs. The compact body can be mounted close to the machine target. This provides a practical solution for fixed magnetic position detection.
The MS5011 provides IP67 protection for industrial environments. Its PBT housing is designed for compact machine installation. The sensor operates within an ambient temperature range of -25 to 75 °C. Its 5000 Hz switching capability supports high-cycle machinery. These characteristics make it suitable for general-purpose factory automation.
