Festo SMEO-1-LED-24B Proximity Switch

The proximity switch, also known as magnetic switch, cylinder switch, or non-contact position sensor, with type number SMEO-1-LED-24B from Festo is an electrical switch for the non-contact position sensing of pistons in pneumatic cylinders and other applications where the presence of magnetic fields must be detected. It has the dimensions 15 x 5 x 15 cm and weighs 0.07 kg. Proximity switches serve for reliable and precise detection of positions and states without direct contact, thereby minimizing wear and increasing operational safety. Typical applications are found in automation technology, especially in the control of pneumatic and hydraulic systems, as well as in mechanical engineering for monitoring motion sequences and for end-position sensing.
