The IFM MX5051 is a PNP rotational speed sensor for non-contact detection of metal toothed wheels. It has a 1.7 mm sensing range and a normally open output function. The sensor uses a 2 m PUR cable for direct connection to the control system. Its Ø15 × 64.5 mm body is designed for industrial speed monitoring applications. The sensor provides a compact solution for detecting rotational movement in drives and machine axes.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The MX5051 uses a PNP normally open output for compatible industrial control systems. The sensor detects metal toothed wheels without mechanical contact. Its 1.7 mm sensing range provides a defined target distance. This arrangement supports reliable pulse generation from rotating machinery. The sensor is suitable for drive and machine-axis speed monitoring.
A 2 m PUR cable provides direct connection to the automation system. The longer cable is useful where the sensor is installed some distance from the control connection. PUR provides suitable mechanical durability for industrial applications. The prewired construction reduces installation complexity. This makes the sensor practical for production machinery.
The Ø15 × 64.5 mm housing provides a compact cylindrical installation format. The threaded sensor body can be positioned close to a suitable toothed target. Its 1.7 mm sensing range supports precise mechanical installation. The sensor is intended for rotational speed applications. It is suitable for automated equipment requiring reliable speed feedback.
