Festo Cylinder Sensor

Festo s proximity sensors are sensors specially optimised for use with festo drives and indicate the position of the piston rod.

Festo cylinder sensor.

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. Inductive proximity sensors an inductive proximity sensor is a sensor that reacts contactlessly i e. Without direct contact to the approach of a metallic or galvanic object. Pressure sensors and vacuum switches accurately.

Festo offers round cylinders with piston diameters from 2 5 mm to 63 mm and pneumatic cylinders in accordance with the iso 6432 standard. In addition festo offers sensors such as the sensor that have been developed for precise and reliable contact sensing and special tasks. 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.

Proximity sensor block design. Proximity sensors in block design can only be used on tie rod cylinders and are available as reed and electronic variants. Festo is an independent and privately owned company since 1925 specializing in factory automation and process control solutions. 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.
