The IFM MK5351 C-slot cylinder sensor provides precise magnetic position detection for pneumatic cylinders and compact actuators. Its AMR sensing technology is designed for accurate switching-point detection, while the compact C-slot housing supports installation in space-restricted applications. The sensor operates from 10–30 V DC and uses a PNP normally-open output. Its 0.3 m cable, 2X configuration and IP65/IP67 protection provide practical integration into industrial automation systems.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The MK5351 is designed for reliable piston-position monitoring in C-slot pneumatic cylinders. Its AMR sensor technology provides non-contact detection of the magnetic field generated by the cylinder piston. The compact design allows installation directly in the cylinder groove. It is suitable for machines requiring repeatable actuator position feedback and compact sensor installation.
The sensor is designed for high-frequency switching and accurate switching-point detection. It operates from 10–30 V DC and provides a PNP normally-open output. Its magnetic sensing principle enables fast detection of piston movement. Protection functions help safeguard the sensor against common electrical faults encountered in industrial automation systems.
The MK5351 uses a compact C-slot mounting arrangement and a 0.3 m connection cable. Its design allows quick positioning and adjustment inside compatible cylinder profiles. The sensor is suitable for short-stroke pneumatic cylinders, compact grippers, packaging machines and assembly systems. Its IP65/IP67 protection supports operation in typical industrial environments.
