The IFM MX5004 is a two-channel rotational speed sensor for non-contact detection of metallic toothed wheels. It provides a 1.7 mm sensing range and supports switching frequencies from 1 to 15,000 Hz. The sensor uses a DC NPN electrical design with a 7 to 30 V DC supply range. Its IP67/IP69K protection and -32 to 140°C ambient range support demanding industrial machinery. The cylindrical Ø15 mm sensor provides compact integration into drive and axis systems.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The MX5004 detects rotating toothed wheels without physical contact. Its 1.7 mm sensing range allows controlled positioning relative to the target wheel. The sensor can process switching frequencies up to 15 kHz. This enables monitoring of high-speed rotating equipment. It is suited to drive, motor and machine-axis applications.
The two-channel design provides A and B pulse outputs. The pulse channels support phase-based rotational information. The sensor uses an NPN output design for compatible control electronics. This arrangement can provide useful rotational information for speed and movement analysis. The quick-disconnect design also simplifies sensor replacement.
The MX5004 operates from -32 to 140°C. Its IP67/IP69K rating supports protection against dust and high-pressure cleaning conditions. The sensor uses a cylindrical plastic housing with industrial connector construction. Its protection class III electrical design supports low-voltage machine integration. These characteristics make it suitable for demanding automation equipment.
