The IFM MX5015 is a two-channel speed sensor with a 2 m PUR cable for rotational speed detection. It provides a 1.7 mm sensing range and supports switching frequencies up to 15,000 Hz. The sensor uses a DC NPN electrical design and operates from 7 to 30 V DC. Its Ø15 × 49.5 mm housing operates from -32 to 140°C and provides IP65/IP68/IP69K protection. The two pulse outputs provide a 90° ±20° phase relationship for rotational monitoring.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The MX5015 detects metal toothed wheels without mechanical contact. Its two pulse outputs provide rotational information for compatible evaluation electronics. The phase shift is 90° ±20° and the mark-to-space ratio is 50% ±10%. This enables the connected control system to interpret rotational movement. The 1.7 mm sensing range provides controlled target positioning.
The sensor is supplied with a 2 m PUR cable. The cable contains four 0.34 mm² conductors for the electrical connection. The prewired design eliminates the need for separate connector termination. This makes the sensor suitable for direct installation into machine wiring systems. The cable length also provides useful routing flexibility around motors and drives.
The sensor uses a cylindrical Ø15 × 49.5 mm body. Its socket is made from brass, while the housing is PA and the O-ring uses FKM. The specified tightening torque is 7 Nm. The 1.25 mm toothed-wheel module provides the reference target geometry. The sensor weighs approximately 82.7 g.

The integrated 2 m cable simplifies electrical installation. The PUR cable provides a durable industrial connection. Four conductors support the supply and pulse-output arrangement. The prewired construction reduces field termination requirements. This is useful for machine builders seeking straightforward sensor installation.
The 15 kHz switching frequency supports high-speed gear-wheel detection. The dual pulse outputs provide additional rotational information. The phase relationship supports direction or sequence evaluation where required. The 1.7 mm sensing range maintains a defined sensor-target relationship. This makes the MX5015 suitable for fast rotating machinery.
