MK5310 is a flush C-slot cylinder sensor with a GMR sensing cell. It provides a PNP normally open output and operates from 10…30 V DC. The sensor supports 10 kHz switching and 2.8 mT magnetic sensitivity. Its 26.1 × 2.8 × 5.5 mm housing provides compact installation. A 0.3 m PUR cable with M8 connector supports industrial automation wiring.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
MK5310 uses GMR technology for reliable piston-position sensing. The 2.8 mT magnetic sensitivity provides dependable switching. The 10 kHz switching frequency supports fast pneumatic cycles. Its PNP normally open output interfaces with common PLC inputs. This makes it suitable for automated cylinder control.
The sensor has a narrow 26.1 × 2.8 × 5.5 mm profile. This allows flush installation in C-slot cylinders. The stainless-steel fastening clamp maintains mechanical position. The PA housing provides lightweight construction. A yellow LED provides visible switching feedback.
MK5310 operates from 10…30 V DC. Current consumption is below 10 mA. Its output supports 100 mA continuous current. Short-circuit and overload protection are integrated. IP65/IP67 protection supports industrial environments.
