ifm electronic Magnetic Cylinder Sensor
Model: MK5244
Order No.: MKT3028BBPKG/G/0,3M/ZH/ASR
1. General Description
The ifm electronic MK5244 is a magnetic cylinder sensor designed for the non-contact position detection of pistons in pneumatic actuators. It is specifically built for easy, top-down installation into T-slots, where it reliably detects the magnetic field of the piston magnet through the cylinder wall.
This sensor features a solid-state PNP output, eliminating mechanical wear and ensuring a long service life. Its high protection rating makes it suitable for use in demanding industrial environments where dust or liquids are present.
Key Features 🎯
- For T-Slot Cylinders: Optimized for fast and secure mounting in standard T-slots.
- Reliable Piston Detection: Non-contact magnetic sensing for wear-free operation.
- PNP Output: Provides a standard 3-wire PNP, normally open (NO) output signal.
- High Protection Rating: IP65 / IP67 rated for excellent resistance to dust and water ingress.
- Clear Status Indication: A bright, integrated LED provides a clear visual indication of the output state.
