MK5249 is a long-cable T-slot cylinder sensor for pneumatic position detection. It uses a PNP normally open output and operates from 10…30 V DC. The sensor provides 2.3 mT magnetic sensitivity and 2000 Hz switching frequency. Its 6 m cable provides extended connection reach in larger machines. The compact housing supports flush installation in T-slot cylinders.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
MK5249 uses a 6 m connection length for extended machine wiring. This reduces the need for intermediate extensions in larger installations. The PNP normally open output interfaces directly with control systems. Its 2.3 mT sensitivity provides reliable piston detection. The configuration is useful where sensors are positioned far from control cabinets.
The sensor operates from 10…30 V DC. Current consumption is below 15 mA. The output supports 100 mA continuous current. Short-circuit and overload protection are provided. Switching frequency reaches 2000 Hz.
MK5249 measures 25 × 5 × 6.5 mm. The T-slot fastening system supports flush mounting. The compact housing is suitable for pneumatic cylinders. The 6 m cable provides long-distance connection. IP65/IP67 protection supports industrial environments.

The 6 m cable provides additional reach between sensor and controller. This is useful on large production machines. It can reduce the number of cable extensions required. The sensor remains compact at the cylinder. This simplifies distributed machine wiring.
The yellow LED helps technicians confirm switching status. The self-locking mounting mechanism supports adjustment. The long cable simplifies replacement where control cabinets are distant. IP65/IP67 protection supports industrial operation. This makes the sensor practical for maintenance-heavy machinery.
