The IFM MR0117 T-slot cylinder sensor with reed contact is designed for pneumatic cylinder-position detection where an extended cable connection is required. Its MRT2021BAKOA/R/6,0M/ZH configuration provides a 6.0 m cable for routing between the cylinder and a more distant control or connection point. The sensor is suitable for automated machinery, pneumatic systems, production lines and industrial handling applications requiring dependable piston-position feedback.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The MR0117 provides magnetic piston detection using a reed-contact sensing element. It is designed for T-slot cylinders and provides a switching signal when the piston reaches the sensor's detection zone. The compact cylinder-mounted design allows efficient installation while the 6.0 m cable supports machines with greater distances between actuator and connection point.
The 6.0 m cable is useful for larger machines where standard short cable lengths may not be sufficient. It allows the sensor connection to be routed toward a remote terminal, control cabinet or machine connection point. Proper cable routing and protection should be considered during installation to maintain long-term reliability in industrial environments.
The sensor detects the magnetic field of the pneumatic-cylinder piston. When the piston enters the sensing zone, the reed contact changes its switching state. The controller can use this signal to determine whether the cylinder has reached a defined position. This supports automated sequencing and interlocking functions in pneumatic machinery.
The MR0117 is suitable for production lines, automated handling systems and pneumatic machinery with distributed control connections. The extended cable makes it particularly useful where the cylinder is located away from the machine connection point. It can support reliable position feedback for repetitive automated movements and pneumatic actuator monitoring.
