The SMAT-8M is a position transmitter for the contactless sensing of the piston position of drives that can be detected magnetically. It supplies a displacement-proportional analogue output signal in the position measuring range. It is connected directly to the analogue PLC inputs without any accessories. With its extremely compact design, the SMAT-8M is the ideal solution for grippers, short-stroke cylinders and all applications in which installation space is restricted.
Returning an accurate reading with FESTO's position transmitter is easily achieved, the device gives users feedback on a percentage of the valve opening.
Features & Benefits
This position transmitter is for T-slot design Oil resistant Magnetic measuring principle <=40mm distance measuring range LED status indicators All electrical connections are polarity protected PA6 reinforced material housing 0-10V analogue output This device has a 3 m/s maximum travel speed
How does a position transmitter work?
Essentially, a position transmitter measures the span of travel of any moving object and it transmits a signal. They can be used in several positions, most commonly on a shaft or a valve or on the louvers of a cooler, here it will measure the distance of movement.
