MK5186 TSlot Cylinder Sensor 10 to 30 V DC NPN Compact cylindermounted sensor for reliable piston position detection in pneumatic systems. Designed to slide into standard Tslot grooves, the MK5186 provides a straightforward way to add precise position feedback without modifying cylinder structure. Key benefits Accurate piston detection: Detects piston position reliably to support consistent cycle timing and reduce misfires. Easy installation: Tslot form factor installs quickly without special tools, minimizing downtime during setup or maintenance. Broad voltage compatibility: Operates across a wide 10 to 30 V DC range for compatibility with common industrial power supplies. Simple electrical interface: NPN sinking output integrates with many PLC input modules, relays, and control systems. condition: Supplied for immediate installation and dependable initial performance. Important attributes Function: Cylinder position sensor for detecting piston location in Tslot style pneumatic cylinders. Mounting: Tslot compatible for direct insertion into cylinder grooves. Electrical: 10 to 30 V DC operating voltage, NPN output type (sinking). Model: MK5186. Condition: . Practical applications Pneumatic actuator feedback in automated assembly lines to confirm stroke completion before the next operation. Packaging and material handling systems where precise endofstroke detection prevents jams and improves throughput. Integration with PLC or discrete control systems to trigger sequencing, counting, or safety interlocks based on piston position. Installation and compatibility notes Intended for cylinders with Tslot grooves; confirm groove dimensions before ordering. Applies to control systems that accept NPN sinking inputs and a 10 to 30 V DC supply. Simple mechanical fit and standard electrical interface make it suitable for retrofit or installations. Choose the MK5186 when you need a compact, easytoinstall cylinder sensor that provides clear position feedback and straightforward electrical integration.
