The IFM MK5114 T-slot cylinder sensor is designed for compact magnetic position detection on pneumatic cylinders. Its T-slot construction allows direct installation and convenient adjustment of the sensing point within compatible cylinder profiles. The sensor provides reliable switching feedback for automated piston movement and can be integrated into PLC-based control systems. It is suitable for packaging, assembly, handling and general industrial automation where space-efficient cylinder position monitoring is required.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The MK5114 detects the magnetic piston position in compatible pneumatic cylinders. Its contactless sensing principle supports repeated actuator movements. The sensor sends switching information to the machine controller when the piston reaches the sensing area. This can be used for automated sequence control. It is suitable for continuous industrial machine operation.
The sensor is designed to fit directly into T-slot cylinders. The compact housing helps reduce installation space around the actuator. Its mounting arrangement allows the sensing position to be adjusted during commissioning. This makes installation practical for different cylinder stroke requirements. The design supports clean machine construction.
The MK5114 can be used wherever pneumatic cylinder position needs to be monitored. It can provide feedback for PLCs, controllers and machine sequencing systems. The visible indication supports setup and maintenance activities. Its compact construction is suitable for automated equipment. It is a practical component for factory automation systems.
