Festo
171178
Proximity sensor SMTO-8E-PS-S-LED-24
The Festo 171178 is an industrial component designed for T-slot mounting based on the EN 60947-5-2 norm, featuring a magneto-resistive measuring principle for position detection with a repetition accuracy of 0.2 mm. It operates with a PNP switching output, N.O. contact switching element function, maximum switching frequency of 130 Hz, and a maximum output current of 100 mA within an ambient temperature range of -20 °C to 60 °C. This unit includes RCM compliance, CE and UKCA markings as per EU and UK EMC and RoHS directives, and an inductive protective circuit adapted to MZ, MY, and ME coils.

Request a QuoteWhy no listed price?
Industrial and obsolete parts are priced per enquiry: the final price depends on available stock, condition, quantity, and your delivery destination, so a fixed list price would be misleading. Request a quote and we confirm current pricing, lead time, and sourcing options — including hard-to-find and discontinued Festo references — within one business day.
