The IFM MN508S is a magnetically coded safety sensor designed for reliable position monitoring in industrial machinery. It provides an 8 mm sensing range and combines two normally open outputs with one normally closed output, all potential-free. The 24 V DC sensor uses a rectangular 88 x 13.1 x 25 mm housing and coded actuator principle. This configuration provides flexible switching options for machine guards, safety doors and protective access applications.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The MN508S is designed for safety-related magnetic position detection using a coded actuator. Its three switching contacts provide a flexible output arrangement for suitable machine safety circuits. The 8 mm sensing range supports practical installation around protective guards and access doors. Its rectangular housing provides a compact mounting format. The sensor is intended for continuous industrial safety monitoring.
The MN508S provides two normally open and one normally closed potential-free outputs. It operates from 24 V DC and has an 8 mm sensing range with a defined actuator. Its 88 x 13.1 x 25 mm rectangular housing provides practical installation. Protection class III supports appropriate low-voltage safety systems. The additional normally closed output expands circuit configuration possibilities.
The sensor is suitable for machine guarding applications where multiple switching states may be useful. It can monitor protective doors, covers and access points in automated machinery. The coded actuator principle supports reliable intended-object detection. Its robust rectangular construction provides stable mounting. It is suitable for integration with compatible safety control and evaluation equipment.
