The IFM MK5902 T-slot cylinder sensor is designed for dependable magnetic piston-position detection in pneumatic cylinders. Its MKI3020-ANKG/A/AS configuration provides a compact sensor solution suitable for T-slot cylinder installations. The sensor supports automated position feedback and can be used in pneumatic handling, assembly, packaging and machine-control applications where reliable cylinder monitoring is required.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The MK5902 is a compact T-slot cylinder sensor intended to monitor piston positions in compatible pneumatic actuators. The sensor detects the magnetic field associated with the cylinder piston and provides switching feedback to the automation system. Its compact format makes it suitable for machine designs where the sensor needs to remain close to the cylinder profile. It is designed for practical industrial cylinder monitoring.
The MK5902 uses magnetic sensing to identify piston movement and position. Once the piston reaches the sensor's detection area, the output changes state and can be used by a PLC or control system. The T-slot mounting arrangement allows the sensor to be positioned according to the desired switching point. This provides a straightforward method of monitoring pneumatic actuator positions.
The MK5902 is designed around a T-slot installation concept that supports convenient fitting and adjustment. Its compact sensor body reduces the need for additional brackets around the cylinder. The sensor is suitable for repetitive industrial operation where consistent piston-position feedback is required. Proper installation and compatible cylinder selection help ensure dependable sensing performance.
The sensor is suitable for automated pneumatic cylinders used in assembly, packaging, handling and production machinery. It can be used to confirm cylinder extension or retraction before subsequent machine actions are initiated. This helps improve sequence control and machine coordination. Its compact design also supports applications where space around pneumatic actuators is restricted.
