MK5302 is a C-slot cylinder sensor with a PNP normally open output. It provides 2.8 mT magnetic sensitivity for reliable piston-position detection. The sensor operates from 10…30 V DC and supports 10 kHz switching. Its compact housing is designed for non-flush C-slot installation. A 0.3 m PUR cable and M8 connection support industrial machine wiring.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
MK5302 detects the magnetic piston position without mechanical contact. The 2.8 mT sensitivity supports reliable switching. Its high switching frequency supports rapid pneumatic cycles. The normally open PNP output is suitable for PLC inputs. This makes the sensor useful for automated cylinder control.
The sensor accepts 10…30 V DC. Current consumption is below 10 mA. The output supports 100 mA continuous current. Short-circuit and overload protection are provided. Reverse polarity protection further supports reliable operation.
The C-slot housing is compact and suitable for non-flush installation. A 0.3 m cable provides direct connection to machine wiring. The M8 interface provides standard industrial connectivity. A stainless-steel clamp secures the sensor. IP65/IP67 protection supports industrial environments.
