The IFM MK5337 cylinder sensor with GMR cell provides fast and accurate magnetic position detection for C-slot pneumatic cylinders. Its flush-mountable design, PNP normally-open output and 2.8 mT magnetic sensitivity support reliable piston detection at high travel speeds. The sensor operates from 10–30 V DC and can switch at frequencies up to 10 kHz. A compact housing, 0.3 m connection cable and IP65/IP67 protection make it suitable for industrial automation applications.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The MK5337 uses a GMR sensing element to detect the magnetic position of pneumatic cylinder pistons. Because sensing is non-contact, the sensor can provide reliable feedback without mechanical wear at the sensing point. Its compact C-slot construction supports installation in limited spaces. The sensor is designed for automated equipment requiring dependable actuator position information.
The MK5337 supports magnetic sensitivity of approximately 2.8 mT and piston travel speeds above 10 m/s. Its PNP normally-open output can operate at switching frequencies up to 10 kHz. The sensor provides approximately 1.5 mm hysteresis and repeatability below 0.2 mm. These characteristics make it suitable for fast and repetitive pneumatic motion applications.
The sensor is flush mountable and uses a fastening clamp for secure installation. Its 0.3 m PUR cable with connector simplifies integration with automation wiring. The sensor is suitable for packaging machines, assembly systems, robotic actuators and pneumatic handling equipment. IP65/IP67 protection helps support reliable operation in industrial environments.
