Festo Position Transmitter Pneumatic Position Detector, IP65, IP68, 30V dc, SMAT-8M, with LED indicator, 553744 - SMAT-8M-U-E-0,3-M8D

FESTO Position Transmitter - SMAT-8M-U-E-0,3-M8D The SMAT-8M is a position transmitter for the contactless sensing of the piston position of drives that can be detected magnetically. It supplies a displacement-proportional analogue output signal in the position measuring range. It is connected directly to the analogue PLC inputs without any accessories. With its extremely compact design, the SMAT-8M is the ideal solution for grippers, short-stroke cylinders and all applications in which installation space is restricted.Returning an accurate reading with FESTOs position transmitter is easily achieved, the device gives users feedback on a percentage of the valve opening. Features & Benefits • This position transmitter is for T-slot design • Oil resistant • Magnetic measuring principle • <=40mm distance measuring range • LED status indicators • All electrical connections are polarity protected • PA6 reinforced material housing • 0-10V analogue output • This device has a 3 m/s maximum travel speed How does a position transmitter work? Essentially, a position transmitter measures the span of travel of any moving object and it transmits a signal. They can be used in several positions, most commonly on a shaft or a valve or on the louvers of a cooler, here it will measure the distance of movement.
