The IFM MK5161 T-slot cylinder sensor is designed for reliable magnetic piston-position detection in automated pneumatic systems. Its MKT3020 construction provides compact T-slot installation and contactless sensing for repetitive cylinder movements. The extended 10 m cable is useful for machines where the cylinder is located at a greater distance from the control cabinet or junction point. Its industrial design provides practical cylinder feedback for assembly, handling, packaging and factory automation systems.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The MK5161 provides contactless piston-position detection using magnetic sensing. Its 10 m cable configuration is suitable for installations requiring extended wiring distance. This can simplify machine layouts where cylinders are located far from control equipment. The compact sensor body fits compatible T-slot cylinders. It provides reliable position feedback for automated systems.
The sensor is designed to be installed directly into the cylinder slot. Its fixing mechanism allows adjustment of the switching point. The compact body helps minimize space requirements. Secure mounting supports stable operation during repeated cylinder movement. This makes the sensor suitable for machine-building applications.
The sensor provides switching feedback for compatible industrial controllers. Visual indication assists during commissioning and maintenance. High switching capability supports repetitive actuator cycles. Protective electrical functions contribute to reliable operation. The sensor can be used in PLC-based automation systems.
The extended cable provides wiring flexibility for larger machines and production systems. The sensor can monitor cylinder positions in assembly, packaging and handling equipment. Its compact installation reduces external mounting requirements. It supports reliable automated sequence control. The MK5161 is suitable for industrial cylinder-position monitoring.
