The IFM MK5141 T-slot cylinder sensor is a compact magnetic sensor designed for reliable piston-position detection on T-slot cylinders. Its self-locking fixture supports quick installation and easy adjustment, while the 1 m cable provides convenient wiring for many machine layouts. The sensor offers clear switching-status indication and high switching frequency for rapid actuator movements. Its compact construction and industrial protection make it suitable for assembly, packaging and factory automation systems.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The MK5141 detects the magnetic field generated by a cylinder piston without direct mechanical contact. This allows reliable position monitoring during repeated pneumatic movement. The compact sensor body is designed for efficient T-slot installation. Contactless operation helps reduce wear and maintenance requirements. It provides practical position feedback for automated machines.
The self-locking fixture allows the sensor to be installed quickly and adjusted easily. The sensor can be inserted from the top of the cylinder slot. Its fixing arrangement helps maintain the selected position during operation. This simplifies machine assembly and service work. The compact mounting concept saves installation space.
The sensor supports very high switching frequency for rapid cylinder movement. A visible yellow LED provides immediate switching-status feedback. The PNP normally open output can be connected to suitable control inputs. Electrical protection functions help support reliable operation. These characteristics make the sensor suitable for high-cycle automation.
The 1 m cable supports convenient connection in industrial machine layouts. The sensor can be used for cylinder end-position and sequence monitoring. It is suitable for assembly, handling and packaging systems. Its robust construction supports demanding factory conditions. The MK5141 provides dependable feedback for automated motion control.
