Festo SMT/SME-8M Series T-Slot proximity sensors are fully compatible with all Festo cylinders that have T-slots. The SME/SMT series provide a reliable sensing solution in a variety of switching options. Sturdy central mounting guarantees that the sensor is securely screwed into the slot. Vibration, shock and tensile forces applied to the cable will neither cause the sensor to come loose nor lead to unreliable sensor functioning.
All sensors have cables suitable for use in energy chains and on robots as standard. This ensures maximum dependability and process reliability.

• Compatible with all Festo T-Slots
• 24 V dc Operating Voltage
• Non-contacting or contacting sensing

Detecting the presence and proximity of an object is easily achieved with Festo's SMT proximity sensor. The SMT-8M-A-PS-24V-E-0,3-M8D sensor offers you a sensible and clever solution with quick installation.

Predominantly used for detecting the presence and proximity of an object, always and easily achieved with Festo's SMT proximity sensor. Through the use of light-emitting diodes that are integrated into the protective circuit, this sensor is able to detect without any physical contact. Forming part of Festo's core range, specifically designed for T-slot designs and features a magnetoresistive measuring principle.
