The IFM MK5115 T-slot cylinder sensor is a compact PNP normally open magnetic sensor designed for pneumatic cylinder position detection. Its 10…30 V DC supply, 100 mA switching output and 10,000 Hz switching frequency support reliable high-speed automation. The sensor has a compact 25 x 5 x 6.5 mm design and is suitable for direct T-slot installation. It is ideal for packaging, assembly, material handling and industrial machine sequencing applications.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The MK5115 uses magnetic detection to monitor the piston position inside a pneumatic cylinder. The sensor operates without direct mechanical contact with the moving piston. This helps support reliable repeated cylinder movements. Its 2.8 mT response sensitivity enables detection of the magnetic piston. The sensor can therefore provide dependable feedback to automated control systems.
The PNP normally open output is designed for industrial control integration. With a 10,000 Hz switching frequency, the sensor can support fast repetitive movements. The 100 mA switching output provides practical compatibility with controller inputs. Short-circuit and overload protection improve operating reliability. This makes the sensor suitable for high-cycle automation equipment.
The 25 x 5 x 6.5 mm housing allows the MK5115 to fit neatly into compatible T-slot cylinders. Its compact form reduces the required installation area. The sensor can be adjusted along the slot to establish the desired switching point. A visible switching indicator assists setup. The design supports efficient installation and maintenance.
