Leuze MDS 508 MM/4NO-100 — Magnetic Proximity Sensor
Magnetic proximity sensor for AGV/AMR — fast delivery from Sweden
AGV Electrix Article number: 200540
The Leuze MDS 508 MM/4NO-100 is a durable and compact magnetic proximity sensor designed for reliable detection of magnetic fields in AGV and industrial automation environments. Unlike inductive sensors, the MDS Series operates through non-metallic materials such as plastic or stainless housings, making it ideal for enclosed or shielded installations. With IP67 protection, a robust M8 design, and high sensing accuracy, it ensures consistent operation even in harsh industrial conditions.
Key benefits
- Detects magnetic fields through non-metallic materials (e.g., plastic or stainless housings)
- Compact M8 housing for easy integration in AGV and robotics systems
- Insensitive to dirt, dust, oil, and moisture (IP67-rated)
- Maintenance-free, non-contact operation for long service life
- High switching frequency for dynamic detection tasks
- Wide voltage range (10–30 V DC) compatible with standard AGV systems
- PNP Normally Open output for universal integration
- Ideal replacement for reed switches with enhanced reliability
