Festo SME-8 Series Pneumatic Position Detector, 30V Voltage, IP67 - SME-8-K-24-S6, Numeric Part Number: 161756

This pneumatic position detector is a Compact proximity device designed to monitor linear actuator positions within T-slot assemblies. It operates as a normally open switch, signalling position changes electrically while interfacing with automation systems via an M8 connector and attached cable. The unit is intended for industrial settings where sealed protection and elevated temperature tolerance are required.

Features & Benefits

• IP67-rated enclosure provides protection against dust and water ingress
• Polyethylene terephthalate housing resists chemical and mechanical wear
• LED indicator enables quick Visual confirmation of switching state
• Operates between -5°C and 120°C for broad ambient temperature use
• NO output compatible with 30V control circuits for straightforward integration

Applications

• Suitable for position sensing on pneumatic T-slot cylinders
• Ideal for conveyor end-of-travel detection in factory automation
• Used with pneumatic actuators in pick-and-place machinery
• Can be used for limit sensing in packaging and assembly lines

How is the unit connected electrically in a control panel?

It is fitted with an M8 plug and a 2.5 m cable allowing direct wiring to PLC inputs or junction blocks.

What signalling behaviour should I expect during operation?

The switch is configured normally open so it closes its contact when the target position is detected, allowing current flow up to the rated voltage.

How does the detector cope with harsh shop-floor conditions?

The IP67 protection and robust polymer housing minimise ingress and surface damage, preserving sensor function in wet or dusty environments.

Are there temperature constraints for mounting near heat sources?

The sensor is specified to function down to -5°C and up to 120°C, permitting placement near elevated-temperature components within that range.
