The IFM MK5907 cylinder sensor with IO-Link provides intelligent position monitoring for pneumatic cylinders. The MKT4028BFRKG/H/0,3M/IO/ZH/ASR version features a 0.3 m cable and supports two end-position detection with one sensor for suitable short-stroke cylinders. Its 50 mm detection range, IO-Link parameterisation, switching-cycle counter and diagnostic functions make it suitable for advanced industrial automation.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The MK5907 is an intelligent cylinder-position sensor designed for modern pneumatic automation. It uses magnetic sensing to identify piston positions and provides digital communication through IO-Link. One sensor can detect two end positions on suitable short-stroke cylinders, reducing the number of sensing devices required. This makes the product useful for compact automated machine designs.
The MK5907 provides IO-Link communication for parameterisation and diagnostic access. IFM specifies monitoring of critical pneumatic cylinders through a switching-cycle counter and provides extensive diagnostic functions for fast fault localisation. These capabilities help integrate cylinder sensing with machine-monitoring systems and support maintenance decisions.
The sensor provides an inline quality-monitoring detection range of 50 mm and uses a second LED to assist with end-position setting. This makes commissioning easier while providing useful piston-position information during machine operation. The compact sensor design supports installation directly on compatible pneumatic cylinders.
The MK5907 is suitable for assembly, handling, packaging and automated pneumatic machinery. It can provide position feedback and additional diagnostic information to a PLC through IO-Link. Monitoring switching cycles can help identify heavily used cylinders and plan maintenance. The sensor is therefore suitable for machines requiring reliable pneumatic control combined with intelligent monitoring.
