MK5101 T-Slot Magnetic Cylinder Sensor IFM Electronic
The IFM Electronic MK5101 Cylinder Sensor is a high-performance magnetic position sensor with an advanced GMR cell designed for non-contact, precise piston position tracking in T-slot pneumatic cylinders. This compact magnetic sensor features an ultra-reliable DC PNP Normally Open (NO) electrical design with high switching frequencies up to 10,000 Hz, making it ideal for high-speed automated packaging, handling machinery, and advanced robotics.Built with a heavy-duty polyamide housing and integrated strain relief, it features a convenient "drop from the top" self-locking fixture for exceptionally quick, tool-free mounting and robust IP65/IP67 protection against fluid and dust entry.
