Festo SMB Series Mounting Kit

The Festo SMB-8E mounting kit is designed to mount SMB-series sensors to pneumatic cylinders securely. It provides a clean, stable way to position sensors so they remain aligned during machine operation. This kit is commonly used in automation setups that require accurate detection of piston position. It is not an electronic component itself. Its job is purely mechanical: hold the sensor in the correct place and keep it there under vibration and repeated motion.

How It Benefits Users

The SMB-8E kit is built to match SMB-series sensors and compatible cylinders without modification. Installation is straightforward and does not require special tools.

• Explicitly designed for SMB-series sensors.
• Ensures correct sensor alignment.
• Firm hold during repeated cylinder movement.

Usage Recommendations of the Festo SMB Series Mounting Kit

This mounting kit is typically found in industrial automation and pneumatic control systems where position sensing is required. Common applications include:

• Pneumatic cylinders in automated machinery
• Assembly lines and packaging equipment
• Pick-and-place systems
• General factory automation setups

Why Buy It?

A sensor is only reliable when mounted correctly. The SMB-8E mounting kit helps avoid common issues such as sensor drift, vibration-related misreads, and repeated realignment during maintenance. It supports long-term system reliability without adding complexity.
