The IFM MK5108 T-slot cylinder sensor is designed for compact and reliable magnetic position detection on pneumatic cylinders. Its PNP normally open output, 10…30 V DC operation and compact 25 x 5 x 6.5 mm construction support convenient integration into industrial automation equipment. The 0.3 m cable configuration enables practical machine wiring, while high switching capability supports repetitive cylinder movements. It is suitable for packaging, assembly, handling and automated production systems.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The MK5108 detects the magnetic piston position within compatible T-slot cylinders. Its contactless sensing principle allows the sensor to monitor repeated piston movement without mechanical contact. This provides useful position feedback for automated machine sequences. The sensor can be positioned according to the required switching location. It supports efficient pneumatic actuator monitoring.
The sensor uses a PNP normally open switching output and operates from 10…30 V DC. Its switching output supports integration with common industrial control systems. Short-circuit and overload protection provide additional operating security. The sensor is designed for rapid switching applications. These characteristics make it suitable for automated production machinery.
The MK5108 has a compact sensor body measuring approximately 25 x 5 x 6.5 mm. The design allows convenient installation in T-slot cylinders without excessive space requirements. The 0.3 m cable helps simplify connection near the actuator. The sensor also provides visible switching indication. This combination supports straightforward installation and commissioning.
