The IFM MK5113 T-slot cylinder sensor is designed for dependable piston position detection in pneumatic automation systems. Its compact housing allows direct installation into compatible T-slot cylinders, while the 0.3 m cable configuration supports convenient machine connection. The sensor provides magnetic position feedback for repetitive actuator movements and is suitable for industrial production equipment. It can be used in packaging, handling, assembly and machine sequencing applications where reliable cylinder monitoring is required.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The MK5113 provides a compact sensing solution for pneumatic cylinders with T-slot profiles. Its self-locking fixture supports quick mounting and easy adjustment. The sensor can be positioned directly from the top of the slot. This simplifies installation during machine assembly and maintenance. Its compact body is suitable for space-constrained automation equipment.
The sensor detects the magnetic field of the piston and provides switching feedback to the machine controller. This enables monitoring of cylinder extension and retraction positions. The switching signal can be used for automated sequence control. It supports repeated machine movements without physical contact with the piston. This provides a practical solution for industrial pneumatic automation.
The 0.3 m cable configuration allows convenient connection close to the actuator. The sensor can be integrated with PLC inputs and machine control systems. Its visible switching indication helps with commissioning and troubleshooting. The compact design keeps the cylinder installation neat. This supports efficient installation in automated production equipment.
