Festo Proximity Sensor

Use this sensor from Festo to detect the piston position in pneumatic cylinders without contact. The device does this by using the magneto-resistive measuring principle to accurately decipher the piston position and prevent crashing. This durable sensor is made of tough polyamide, polypropylene and high-alloy steel materials that make it resistant to acids, alkalis and cooling lubricants. This means it's suitable for use in chemical production facilities. It can work as either a safety device or a switching component.

• Polypropylene material insulation for electrical safety
• Weight of only 16.1g for easy handling and storage
• Can operate in harsh environmental conditions with temperatures of up to +85°C
• Nominal voltage of 24V for optimal energy efficiency
• IP69K (ingress protection) rating means it's resistant to dust and high-pressure water jets

• Bottling operations
• Chemical production lines
• Food production plants
• Textile machinery

Installation of this component is straightforward. Simply insert it into the cylinder's standard T-slot and screw it in. Thanks to retaining ribs, it'll hold its position and won't work loose, even in the event of shock or vibration.
