Festo SFAB Series Flow Sensor, 10L/min Maximum Flow Rate, IP65 - SFAB-10U-WQ6-2SA-M12, Numeric Part Number:565387


This flow sensor measures volumetric flow of compressed Air and nitrogen within pneumatic systems using a thermal heat-loss principle. It is intended for inline measurement where a compact, plug-connected device provides direct numeric readouts and status switching for control tasks in automation, electronics and mechanical installations.

Features & Benefits


• Measures 0.1 to 10 L/min for precision low-flow control
• Two switchable PNP/NPN outputs support direct logic interfacing
• 4 to 20 mA analogue output enables proportional signalling to controllers
• IP65 rated reinforced polyamide housing resists ingress in washdown areas
• Operates from DC 15V to 30V with 120 mA supply current for standard systems
• Withstands operating pressures up to 10 bar for pneumatic robustness

Applications


• Suitable for monitoring leak-test stations in production lines
• Ideal for flow feedback in pneumatic valve control loops
• Used with compressed-air conditioning systems for flow balancing
• Can be used for inline measurement in lab gas-supply set-ups

How is the unit electrically connected on-site?


It uses a 5-core M12x1 A-coded plug connection compatible with common industrial cabling and includes reverse-polarity protection on all electrical connections.

How does the display support commissioning and checks?


An illuminated multi-colour LCD shows selectable units (l, l/h, l/min, m3, scf, scfm) and allows teach-in setup and PIN protection for tamper prevention.

What accuracy and stability can be expected during operation?


Typical accuracy is ±(3% of measured Value + 0.3% FS) with repetition offset 0.2% FS and span repeatability 0.8% FS, and a temperature coefficient of about 0.1% FS/K.

How is the sensor mounted and connected pneumatically?


It mounts via through-holes, H-rail or wall bracket and accepts tubing with 6mm outside diameter for the process connection.

What protections support electrical reliability?


The device includes short-circuit and overload protection, and switching outputs can be configured as normally open or normally closed for flexible integration.
