Linear position sensor

Thursday, 30 July, 2009 | Supplied by: Festo Pty Ltd


The SMAT-8M position transmitter from Festo is installed like an ordinary reed switch. Due to its compact design, the SMAT-8M can be securely installed flush in the slot of grippers and compact cylinders where it is protected from mechanical damage. Its integrated 0–10 V signal output means there are no external signal processing accessories to take up further installation time or space.

The device senses the movement of the magnetic piston to an accuracy of ±0.1 mm with no mechanical contact, so it is wear-free and therefore extremely reliable. Its detection range of up to 40 mm provides a wide choice of switching points for applications such as gripping, clamping, pressing, part detection and measuring.
