Description
The Festo SMT‑8M‑A‑NS‑24V‑E‑0.3‑M12 is a compact, high‑precision magnetic proximity sensor designed for direct mounting in Festo pneumatic cylinders with T‑slots. It operates on 24 V DC and provides a normally‑open (NS) PNP switching output, delivering reliable position detection for fast‑moving actuators. The sensor features a 0.3 m PUR cable terminated with an M12 connector, offering a durable, plug‑and‑play connection suitable for industrial automation environments. Its slim SMT‑8M housing ensures a secure, flush fit in the cylinder slot, while the LED indicator provides clear visual confirmation of switching status. Built for demanding applications, it offers strong vibration resistance, high repeat accuracy, and long service life in both standard and high‑duty pneumatic systems.
