MK5247 is an AMR-based T-slot cylinder sensor for precise pneumatic position detection. It uses a PNP normally open output with 10…30 V DC operation. The sensor provides 2.3 mT magnetic sensitivity and 2000 Hz switching frequency. Its 25 × 5 × 6.5 mm housing is designed for compact flush installation. A 0.3 m cable with M8 connection supports straightforward industrial integration.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
MK5247 uses an AMR sensing cell for magnetic piston detection. It provides 2.3 mT response sensitivity. The sensor supports travel speeds above 10 m/s. Repeatability is better than 0.2 mm. This makes it suitable for high-speed pneumatic position monitoring.
The sensor operates from 10…30 V DC. Its PNP normally open output supports 100 mA continuous current. Switching frequency is 2000 Hz. Short-circuit and overload protection are included. Reverse polarity protection further improves electrical robustness.
MK5247 uses a flush-mount T-slot design. The sensor measures 25 × 5 × 6.5 mm. A 0.3 m cable terminates in an M8 connector. The self-locking fastening system supports quick adjustment. IP65/IP67 protection supports factory environments.
