Festo PNP Proximity Sensor

The Festo CRSMT-8M-PS-24V-K-0,3-M12 is a PNP proximity sensor designed for detecting piston position in pneumatic cylinders. It is typically used in automation systems that require simple, reliable position feedback without adding mechanical switches or complex wiring. This sensor is designed to do one job well: accurately and consistently detect movement in industrial environments.

Standout Features and Benefits of the Festo CRSMT Series PNP Proximity Sensor

The CRSMT-8M sensor detects the magnetic field generated by a piston inside a cylinder and switches its output when the piston reaches a defined position.

• PNP output for standard control circuits.
• Designed for magnetic piston detection.
• Stable switching even with repeated cycles.
• M12 connector for secure signal connection.
• 0.3 m cable length for short-run wiring.
• Compact body for tight installation spaces.

Mechanical Design and Electrical Connection

This model comes with an M12 connector and a fixed 0.3 m cable, making installation quick and clean in compact control setups. The slim housing fits neatly into cylinder grooves without interfering with machine movement.

Wide Application Range

It is mainly used where repeatable motion needs simple position confirmation rather than high-resolution measurement.

• Pneumatic cylinders in automated machinery
• Packaging and assembly lines
• Pick-and-place systems
• Conveyor and material handling equipment
