The IFM MK5109 T-slot cylinder sensor is designed for magnetic position monitoring in pneumatic cylinder applications. It uses the MKT2028BARKG sensor design and provides a compact solution for detecting piston movement in compatible T-slot cylinders. The 0.3 m cable configuration supports convenient machine connection. Its design is suited to repetitive industrial movements and can be integrated into packaging, handling, assembly and general automation systems where reliable actuator feedback is required.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The MK5109 uses magnetic sensing to detect piston position within a pneumatic cylinder. The contactless detection principle allows repeated cylinder movements to be monitored without mechanical wear at the sensing point. The switching output can provide position information to machine controllers. This supports automated sequence control. The sensor is suitable for industrial pneumatic applications.
The MKT2028BARKG family is designed with PNP/NPN electrical capability and normally open output. The referenced MK5109 information indicates a broad supply range and 100 mA switching capability. Its switching frequency is suitable for repeated machine operation. These characteristics provide flexibility when integrating the sensor into existing control systems. Exact variant wiring should be checked before installation.
The sensor is designed for installation in compatible T-slot cylinders. Its compact construction helps reduce the space required around the actuator. The 0.3 m cable provides a practical connection arrangement. The sensor can be adjusted to the required piston detection position. This supports efficient machine commissioning and maintenance.
