The IFM MK5343 cylinder sensor with AMR cell is designed for accurate magnetic position detection in C-slot pneumatic cylinders. Its PNP normally-open output operates from 10–30 V DC and provides approximately 2 mT magnetic sensitivity with switching frequencies up to 5 kHz. The sensor is flush mountable and supplied with a short 0.15 m PUR cable. Its compact construction, yellow LED indication and IP65/IP67 protection support reliable industrial automation applications.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The MK5343 uses AMR magnetic sensing technology to detect piston position without mechanical contact. This provides dependable feedback for pneumatic cylinders and automated actuators. Its compact C-slot housing is designed for space-efficient installation. The sensor can be connected to PLCs and machine controllers through its electrical output.
The sensor provides approximately 2 mT magnetic sensitivity and supports piston travel speeds above 10 m/s. Its PNP normally-open output can switch at frequencies up to 5 kHz. Low hysteresis and repeatable magnetic detection help provide consistent actuator-position feedback. Reverse-polarity, short-circuit and overload protection improve sensor reliability.
The MK5343 is flush mountable and supplied with a 0.15 m PUR cable for compact machine installations. Its short cable length is useful where the sensor is positioned close to a connection point. The sensor is suitable for pneumatic automation, packaging, assembly and material handling. IP65/IP67 protection supports typical industrial operating environments.
