Product Description

SICK MQ10-60ANSKT0 Magnetic Sensor – Long-Range Magnetic Position Detection

The SICK MQ10-60ANSKT0 magnetic sensor is a compact solution for long-distance, non-contact position sensing in industrial automation systems. With a detection capability reaching up to 60 mm, it addresses applications where traditional sensors struggle due to contamination, vibration, or mechanical tolerance issues. Its slim rectangular housing supports installation in confined spaces, while the NPN normally open output allows straightforward integration with standard control systems. Designed for demanding environments, the robust IP67 enclosure ensures dependable operation even where moisture, dust, or mechanical stress are present.

Designed for precise magnetic field detection, the MQ10-60ANSKT0 provides consistent switching behavior and high repeatability, supporting reliable end-position and motion monitoring. The fast response capability suits high-speed automation processes, while integrated electrical protections help safeguard connected equipment. Its ability to operate across a wide temperature range makes it suitable for diverse industrial settings. By enabling contactless sensing, the sensor minimizes mechanical wear, lowers maintenance effort, and contributes to longer machine service life and improved overall equipment efficiency.

Why SICK MQ10-60ANSKT0?
The SICK MQ10-60ANSKT0 is engineered for engineers who need dependable position detection without mechanical contact or optical alignment issues. Its extended sensing distance, compact form factor, and stable magnetic response make it ideal for modern machines with tight layouts and fast cycles. Built to endure harsh industrial conditions, it delivers consistent performance while reducing maintenance effort and unplanned downtime, making it a smart long-term choice for reliable automation design.

What problem does it solve?
This sensor solves the challenge of detecting movement or position in environments where dirt, vibration, moisture, or misalignment cause conventional sensors to fail. By using magnetic fields instead of physical contact or light, it ensures accurate switching even when components are hidden, moving rapidly, or exposed to contaminants. The result is more stable machine operation, fewer false signals, and improved process reliability.

The Applications

1. Accurate Pneumatic Cylinder Position Monitoring

In automated machinery, pneumatic cylinders must deliver repeatable motion while operating in environments filled with dust, oil mist, or vibration. The MQ10-60ANSKT0 is mounted externally along the cylinder body to sense the magnetic field of the piston without physical contact. Its extended sensing distance allows reliable detection even through thick cylinder walls or protective covers. High switching speed supports fast stroke movements, while magnetic detection avoids wear-related failures. This approach improves position accuracy, reduces mechanical maintenance, and keeps production lines running consistently over long operating cycles.

2. Stable Conveyor Indexing and Stop Control

Conveyor systems depend on precise position feedback to control stops, transfers, and diverters. The MQ10-60ANSKT0 can be installed along the conveyor structure to detect magnets attached to moving carriers or stoppers. Because magnetic sensing is immune to dirt and vibration, the sensor maintains stable signals in busy material handling environments. Its compact housing fits into narrow frames, and the sealed enclosure tolerates moisture and dust. These characteristics help prevent misalignment errors, support higher throughput, and ensure smooth, repeatable conveyor operation.

3. Reliable Motion Detection in Packaging Equipment

Packaging machinery involves frequent movement of guides, sealing jaws, and sliding components, often in dusty conditions. By using the MQ10-60ANSKT0 to detect magnetic targets on moving parts, machines gain non-contact position feedback that remains accurate despite debris or minor misalignment. The sensor’s consistent magnetic sensitivity delivers clean switching signals, reducing false triggers during high-speed cycles. This results in more stable machine timing, fewer interruptions, and improved packaging quality, especially in high-volume production environments.

4. End-Position Feedback for Moving Machine Assemblies

Adjustable fixtures, lifting mechanisms, and mobile machine components require dependable end-position confirmation under vibration and load changes. The MQ10-60ANSKT0 detects magnet-equipped components without physical contact, maintaining accuracy even when structures flex during motion. Its resistance to shock and wide temperature tolerance support operation across varied industrial settings. The generous sensing distance simplifies mechanical design by allowing looser tolerances, improving safety, reliability, and long-term performance where conventional switches would degrade quickly.
