The Festo SME-10-SL-LED-24 is a reed contact used for proximity detection in pneumatic actuator positioning. It signals the piston position to a controller via a magnetic field, making it a straightforward fit for cylinder end-of-stroke sensing on a production line.
As a reed-type proximity switch, it requires a magnetic actuator on the cylinder piston — no external power supply for the sensing element, just the switching circuit. The SME-10-SL-LED-24 is specified for use with Festo's standard T-slot cylinders and linear drives.
