Festo Pneumatic Position Detector SME-8-K-LED-230, 230V AC/DC, IP65, IP67, Polyethylene Terephthalate Housing SME-8-K-LED-230

The Festo SME-8-K-LED-230 pneumatic position detector is engineered for precise position monitoring of T-slot pneumatic actuators used in industrial automation environments. It delivers reliable electrical switching signals compatible with standard 230V AC and DC voltages, facilitating seamless integration into control and safety systems.

Constructed with a durable polyethylene terephthalate housing, this detector withstands mechanical wear while offering high ingress protection ratings of IP65 and IP67, enabling operation in wet or dust-intensive environments including brief immersion scenarios. The built-in LED indicator provides clear on-site visual confirmation of the sensor’s operating state, enhancing maintenance and operational safety.

It supports multiple output configurations including normally open (N/O) contact, NPN 2-wire, and PNP 3-wire transistor types, accommodating diverse control logic requirements. The device operates reliably in ambient temperatures from -5°C to 60°C, fitting varied industrial climates.

The electrical connection is facilitated by an M8 cable plug, designed for straightforward wiring into field junctions and control cabinet inputs. Typical applications include position sensing on pneumatic cylinders, end-of-stroke detection, valve island monitoring, PLC interfacing, and machine guarding interlocks requiring visual feedback for safety confirmation.

Manufactured in Bulgaria under the SME-8 series, this Festo detector combines reliability and flexibility to meet demanding industrial automation needs in manufacturing, packaging, robotics, and process control sectors.

Robust polyethylene terephthalate housing ensures resistance to industrial wear. LED indicator provides instantaneous visual feedback on switching status. IP65 and IP67 ratings enable operation in wet and harsh environments.
