MK5265 is a T-slot cylinder sensor with a normally closed PNP output. It operates from 10…30 V DC and provides 10 kHz switching performance. The sensor offers 2.8 mT magnetic sensitivity and greater than 10 m/s travel-speed capability. Its 2.5 m PUR cable provides extended connection reach. The compact 25 × 5 × 6.5 mm housing supports flush cylinder mounting.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
MK5265 provides a normally closed switching output. This makes it suitable for control schemes requiring an active closed state. The PNP output supports 100 mA continuous current. Short-circuit and overload protection are integrated. The high 10 kHz switching frequency supports rapid cylinder movements.
The 2.5 m PUR cable provides convenient connection distance. It reduces the need for additional extension cables. The cable uses three 0.14 mm² conductors. The sensor remains compact at the cylinder mounting location. This configuration suits medium-sized automated machines.
MK5265 uses a self-clamping fastening system. It can be inserted directly into a T-slot from the top. The housing measures 25 × 5 × 6.5 mm. A yellow LED indicates switching status. IP65/IP67 protection supports industrial environments.

The 10 kHz switching frequency supports rapid cylinder operation. Magnetic detection provides contactless position sensing. The 2.8 mT sensitivity supports reliable piston detection. Low hysteresis supports repeatable switching. This makes the sensor suitable for fast automation.
The 2.5 m PUR cable provides additional installation flexibility. It is suitable where the controller is located farther from the cylinder. The moulded cable provides strain relief. This reduces the need for additional connectors. It simplifies machine wiring.
