FAQs
The M/50/EAP/5V is designed to be compatible with all cylinder ranges that use a magnetic piston and can be flush-mounted in profile cylinders. Its 5 m cable accommodates typical control cabinet layouts, while EN 60947-5-2 compliance guarantees safe integration with standard automation circuits and safety interlocks. This wide compatibility reduces retrofit time and supports scalable sensor deployment across machines.
This switch complies with EN 60947-5-2 for electrical protection devices and is IP67 rated for dust resistance and water immersion in washdown environments. It operates reliably from -40 to 80 Ā°C, which makes it suitable for extreme industrial settings. These certifications help ensure regulatory compliance and consistent performance across global manufacturing sites.
To install, mount the sensor flush in the profile cylinder, route the 5 m cable to the control system with strain relief, and connect to the appropriate input. Ensure the magnetic piston of the cylinder aligns with the sensing area. The solid-state design eliminates wear from mechanical contacts, reducing maintenance intervals and improving long-term signal integrity in automated lines.
Yes. The M/50/EAP/5V carries an IP67 rating, providing protection against dust ingress and immersion in water up to one meter for 30 minutes. This makes it well-suited for washdown zones, conveyors, and robotic cells where exposure to moisture and particulates is common, helping to minimize unplanned downtime.
The solid-state, magnetically actuated design reduces wear compared with mechanical limit switches, lowering maintenance frequency and replacement costs. Its compatibility with the M/50 Actuator Switches family enables scalable sensing across multiple machines, facilitating standardized installation, faster commissioning, and a clearer path to return on investment in multi-line automation projects.
