The IFM MX5017 is a cylindrical two-channel speed sensor designed for non-contact detection of metal toothed wheels. It has a 1.7 mm sensing range and supports switching frequencies from 1 to 15,000 Hz. The sensor uses a DC NPN output arrangement and a 2 m PUR cable. Its Ø15 × 50 mm construction is rated for -32 to 140°C operation and IP65/IP68/IP69K protection. The sensor is suitable for high-speed rotational monitoring in drives and machine axes.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The MX5017 detects toothed-wheel movement without mechanical contact. The 1.7 mm sensing range provides a controlled target distance. Its 15 kHz maximum switching frequency supports high-speed rotating machinery. Two pulse channels provide additional rotational information. This makes the sensor suitable for demanding speed-monitoring applications.
The sensor uses a 2 m PUR cable for direct electrical connection. The three-wire arrangement supports the NPN pulse output design. PUR provides a durable industrial cable sheath. The integrated cable reduces the need for separate connector assembly. This simplifies installation on motors, gearboxes and machine axes.
The sensor is designed for ambient temperatures from -32 to 140°C. IP65, IP68 and IP69K ratings provide multiple levels of environmental protection. The cylindrical 15 mm housing provides a compact installation footprint. The sensor can therefore be used in machinery exposed to dust, moisture and cleaning processes. Its industrial construction supports continuous speed monitoring.

The Ø15 mm cylindrical housing can be integrated into relatively restricted machine spaces. Its 50 mm overall length provides a practical installation profile. The threaded body supports secure mounting. The integrated cable provides direct connection to the control system. This combination makes the sensor useful for compact drive assemblies.
The sensor produces pulse signals corresponding to the detected toothed-wheel movement. Its high switching frequency supports rapid target transitions. The 1.7 mm sensing range helps maintain consistent detection. The PUR cable provides a robust connection for industrial equipment. This supports reliable speed monitoring in automated machinery.
