The IFM MK5119 T-slot cylinder sensor is designed for compact magnetic position monitoring on pneumatic cylinders. Its MKT3028BAPKG design provides a space-saving sensing solution for compatible T-slot profiles. The 0.3 m cable configuration supports convenient machine connection and installation. The sensor is suitable for repetitive cylinder movements and automated sequence control. It can be used in packaging, assembly, handling and industrial production equipment requiring reliable actuator position feedback.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The MK5119 detects the magnetic piston position within a pneumatic cylinder. Contactless sensing enables the sensor to monitor repeated actuator movement without direct mechanical contact. The switching signal can be used by PLCs and controllers. This helps coordinate automated machine sequences. The sensor is suitable for continuous industrial operation.
The compact T-slot housing allows installation directly within compatible cylinder profiles. Its small dimensions help minimize space requirements around the actuator. The sensor can be positioned along the slot according to the required detection point. This makes commissioning easier. It is well suited to compact pneumatic machine layouts.
The 0.3 m cable provides a practical connection length for nearby machine wiring. It can simplify installation around compact pneumatic actuators. The sensor can be connected to the machine control system without excessive cable routing. The cable arrangement also supports convenient maintenance. The exact electrical connector configuration should be verified against the model datasheet.
