Festo Cylinder Sensor

Pressure sensors and vacuum switches accurately.

Festo cylinder sensor.

Proximity sensor block design. 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. Proximity sensors in block design can only be used on tie rod cylinders and are available as reed and electronic variants. The piston rod cylinders are available in double acting and single acting versions.

All t slot switches can be used on tie rod cylinders via kits. Festo develops both cylinders and cylinder sensors and can therefore design the cylinder switches safely and reliably for its own actuators. To query the piston position proximity switches can be attached to the cylinder barrel using a kit. Without direct contact to the approach of a metallic or galvanic object.

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. These proximity sensors are the predecessors of the cylinder switches for t slots and are therefore mainly used in existing systems. 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. Festo s proximity sensors are sensors specially optimised for use with festo drives and indicate the position of the piston rod.
