The Festo SIE-M18S-PS-K=LED is an inductive proximity sensor in a standard M18 threaded barrel, delivering a 5 mm sensing range with a PNP normally-open output. It operates on 10-30 V DC and connects via a cable — a straightforward fit for position detection on pneumatic actuators, conveyors, or part-present stations where non-contact metal sensing is needed.
The M18 barrel threads into standard mounting brackets or tapped holes; the cable exits the rear, so plan for a cable gland or strain relief at the panel entry. Rated for -25 to 70°C ambient — fine for most factory-floor cabinets but not for direct press-side heat without a thermal barrier.
