MK5315 is a flush C-slot cylinder sensor with GMR magnetic sensing. It provides a PNP normally open output and operates from 10…30 V DC. The sensor offers 2.8 mT magnetic sensitivity and 10 kHz switching performance. Its 0.5 m cable provides convenient connection length for compact machines. The M8 interface and IP65/IP67 protection support industrial automation.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
MK5315 detects the magnetic piston position without mechanical contact. Its GMR sensing cell provides reliable switching. The 2.8 mT sensitivity supports stable piston detection. The 10 kHz switching frequency supports fast pneumatic cycles. This makes the sensor suitable for high-speed automated machinery.
The PNP normally open output operates from 10…30 V DC. Current consumption is below 10 mA. Output current capability is 100 mA. Short-circuit and overload protection are included. Reverse polarity protection supports electrical reliability.
MK5315 uses a flush C-slot housing. Its compact body is designed for narrow cylinder slots. The 0.5 m cable provides flexible wiring. The M8 connector supports industrial connection. A yellow LED provides switching-status indication.
