Festo SMT-8-PS-K-LED-24-B Proximity Sensor

The proximity switch, also known as an approximation sensor, proximity sensor, or non-contact switch, with type number SMT-8-PS-K-LED-24-B from Festo, is an electrical sensor for the non-contact detection of objects. It has the dimensions 14 x 1 x 14 cm and weighs 0.038 kg. Proximity switches non-contact detect the presence or position of objects, usually metallic, and convert this information into an electrical signal. They are used for precise position determination, counting, and monitoring in automated processes. Typical applications are found in industrial automation, mechanical engineering, conveyor systems, and packaging technology, where they are used for cylinder end position sensing, speed monitoring, or material flow control.
