Proximity sensors in block design can only be used on tie rod cylinders and are available as reed and electronic variants.
Festo cylinder sensor.
Proximity sensor block design.
All t slot switches can be used on tie rod cylinders via kits.
Without direct contact to the approach of a metallic or galvanic object.
In addition festo offers sensors such as the sensor that have been developed for precise and reliable contact sensing and special tasks.
Festo is an independent and privately owned company since 1925 specializing in factory automation and process control solutions.
To query the piston position proximity switches can be attached to the cylinder barrel using a kit.
The piston rod cylinders are available in double acting and single acting versions.
Festo offers round cylinders with piston diameters from 2 5 mm to 63 mm and pneumatic cylinders in accordance with the iso 6432 standard.
These proximity sensors are the predecessors of the cylinder switches for t slots and are therefore mainly used in existing systems.
Smat continuously and contactlessly record the movement of the piston in the position measuring range and output that information as a standardised analogue current or voltage signal.
For over 80 years companies have turned to festo for intelligent automation solutions that help maximize productivity and ultimately help them compete in the global market.
From the position sensor smat to pressure sensing with the pressure sensor span and flow sensing with the flow sensor sfah our product portfolio covers the full range of classic sensor tasks for pneumatics.
Pressure sensors and vacuum switches accurately.
