MK5309 is a flush C-slot cylinder sensor with a GMR sensing cell. It uses an NPN normally open output and operates from 10…30 V DC. The sensor provides 2.8 mT magnetic sensitivity and 10 kHz switching frequency. Its 26.1 × 2.8 × 5.5 mm compact housing supports flush installation. The 2 m cable provides extended machine connection.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
MK5309 uses GMR technology for contactless piston detection. The 2.8 mT magnetic sensitivity supports reliable switching. Its 10 kHz frequency allows fast pneumatic movement detection. The NPN output is suitable for sinking-input control systems. This provides dependable machine feedback.
The 2 m cable provides extended connection reach. This is useful when the control cabinet is positioned away from the cylinder. It reduces the need for additional cable extensions. The sensor remains compact at the machine. This makes MK5309 useful for larger automation systems.
The sensor uses a flush C-slot design. Its PA housing and stainless-steel fastening clamp provide mechanical support. The yellow LED indicates switching status. IP65/IP67 protection supports industrial conditions. The compact profile allows installation in restricted spaces.
