Festo PNP Proximity Sensor

The Festo CRSMT-8M-PS-24V-K-0,3-M8D is a compact PNP proximity sensor designed for reliable and straightforward position sensing in industrial automation systems. It is commonly used to detect piston positions in pneumatic cylinders and similar moving components that require consistent switching. This sensor is built for everyday machine use. It focuses on stable detection, straightforward wiring, and dependable operation rather than unnecessary complexity.

Unmatched Advantages of Choosing the Festo CRSMT Series PNP Proximity Sensor

The sensor operates on a 24 V DC supply and uses a PNP switching output, making it compatible with most PLC and control systems. Once installed, it detects magnetic fields generated by piston movement and sends a clear switching signal to the controller.

• PNP output for standard control inputs.
• Designed for magnetic position detection.
• Stable signal even in continuous operation.
• Slim sensor housing.
• Fixed cable with M8 connector.
• Quick and secure mounting.

Physical Design and Installation

The compact body allows installation in tight spaces where larger sensors would not fit. The pre-attached 0.3 m cable with M8 connector helps speed up installation and reduces wiring errors during machine assembly or maintenance.

Wide Application Range

It is often chosen for applications where repeatable switching and low maintenance are more critical than advanced sensing features.

• Pneumatic cylinders and actuators
• Automated assembly lines
• Packaging and material handling equipment
• Industrial machinery requiring position feedback
