Festo SMT-10M-PS-24V-E-0.3-L-M8D Proximity Sensor

The Festo SMT-10M-PS-24V-E-0.3-L-M8D Proximity Sensor is a FESTO device designed for 24V DC operation that uses a magnetic switch to sense magnetic fields and switch an electrical circuit in automation systems. The model designation SMT-10M-PS-24V-E-0.3-L-M8D indicates a compact sensor with an M8D-style connection and a length specification of 0.3-L, suitable for installations where space is limited. The accompanying magnetic switch is cataloged as 551375. This sensor is appropriate for position or end-of-travel sensing in applications such as conveyors and robotic assemblies, where magnet-based triggering is used. When integrating into a control system, ensure the sensor’s 24V supply is compatible with the controller and that the magnet target aligns with the sensing element for reliable operation. Its compact form factor supports mounting in control panels, machine frames, or close to moving magnets in tight automation layouts.
