Festo PNP Proximity Sensor

The Festo CRSMT-8M-PS-24V-K-10,0-OE is a PNP proximity sensor designed for position detection in automated systems. It is commonly used to detect the presence of moving parts, such as pistons, slides, or other mechanical components, without physical contact. This helps reduce wear while maintaining consistent, repeatable machine operation. The sensor operates on a 24 V DC supply and is built for continuous use in industrial environments where reliability matters more than extra features.

Primary Functions of the Festo PNP Proximity Sensor

This sensor detects objects magnetically and switches its output when the target enters the sensing range. Because it is contactless, it performs well in high-cycle applications where mechanical switches would fail over time.

• Detecting piston position in pneumatic cylinders.
• Monitoring linear or rotary movement.
• Providing position feedback to PLC systems.
• PNP switching output.
• 24 V DC operation.
• Long fixed cable for easy wiring.
• Stable signal during continuous operation.

Simple Installation and Electrical Connection

The CRSMT-8M-PS-24V-K-10,0-OE uses a PNP output, making it compatible with most standard PLC inputs. The 10-meter cable allows flexible routing inside machines or control cabinets without the need for extensions or connectors.

Wide Application Range

It is mainly chosen where space is limited and dependable position feedback is needed.

• Pneumatic cylinder position sensing
• Automated assembly lines
• Packaging and material handling systems
• Industrial machinery and motion control setups
