Festo SDE5-D10-NF-Q6E-V-M8, Pneumatic Sensor

The Festo SDE5-D10-NF-Q6E-V-M8 is a compact pneumatic vacuum switch used to monitor pressure and vacuum levels in compressed air systems. It is commonly installed on vacuum lines to confirm whether the required pressure level has been reached or maintained during operation. With a pressure rating up to 10 bar, it fits easily into standard industrial pneumatic setups. This switch is typically utilised where reliable pressure feedback is required for automated control, safety checks, or process confirmation.

Core Capabilities of the Festo 10bar Pneumatic Vacuum Switch M8

The SDE5 series operates by detecting pressure changes in the pneumatic line and switching an output signal when a preset value is reached. This allows machines to react automatically, such as starting the next process step or stopping the operation if the pressure drops.

• Detects vacuum or pressure levels accurately.
• Sends a clear switching signal to the control system.
• Helps prevent process errors caused by pressure loss.
• Small and lightweight housing.
• M8 connector for fast electrical connection.
• Easy integration into existing pneumatic lines.
• Used in pick-and-place systems, suction grippers, and automated handling equipment.

Compact Design for Tight Installations

The SDE5-D10-NF-Q6E-V-M8 has a small footprint, making it suitable for installations with limited space. The M8 electrical connector enables quick, secure wiring, while the Q6E pneumatic connection supports standard tubing sizes.

Usage Recommendations of the Vacuum Switch

It is mainly used to ensure that vacuum or pressure conditions are correct before a machine continues operating.

• Vacuum gripping and handling systems
• Packaging and assembly machines
• Pneumatic automation lines
• Industrial equipment using compressed air
