The IFM MX5050 is a rotational speed sensor designed for non-contact detection of metal toothed wheels. It provides a 1.7 mm sensing range and supports switching frequencies up to 15,000 Hz. The sensor uses a DC PNP normally open output arrangement and a 0.5 m PUR cable. Its compact cylindrical housing is designed for industrial drive and axis applications. The sensor provides high-speed tooth detection for reliable rotational monitoring.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The MX5050 is designed for precise detection of rapidly moving metal gear teeth. Its switching frequency reaches 15,000 Hz. The 1.7 mm sensing range allows controlled sensor-to-target positioning. Non-contact detection reduces mechanical wear on the sensing system. This makes it suitable for high-speed rotational equipment.
The sensor uses a DC PNP output configuration for compatible automation controllers. Its normally open switching behaviour provides a defined output state during tooth detection. The short 0.5 m PUR cable is suitable for compact machine installations. The prewired design reduces field connection work. This supports quick integration into drive and motion-control systems.
The MX5050 uses a compact cylindrical housing suitable for restricted machine spaces. The 0.5 m cable keeps excess wiring to a minimum. Its construction is designed for industrial environments. The sensor can be installed close to metal gear targets without mechanical contact. This makes it suitable for motors, gearboxes and machine axes.

The MX5050 is designed for high-frequency target detection. Its 15 kHz switching capability allows it to monitor rapidly rotating toothed wheels. The 1.7 mm sensing range provides controlled target positioning. PNP output simplifies connection to compatible control systems. This provides an effective solution for industrial speed monitoring.
The 0.5 m PUR cable is useful for installations where the sensor and control connection are close together. It reduces unnecessary cable loops around machinery. The fixed cable also eliminates the need for a separate connector. The compact body allows installation near gear wheels. This supports clean and practical machine wiring.
