The Festo SMT-8M-A-PS-24V-E-0,3-M8D-EX2 is a magneto-inductive proximity sensor designed for T-slot cylinder mounting — the standard fit for Festo and many other pneumatic actuator lines. It detects piston position through the cylinder wall without physical contact, outputting a PNP normally-open signal at 24 VDC. The M8 connector with a 0.3 m pigtail keeps the wiring short and clean on a guided cylinder or compact slide.

Frequently asked questions
Will SMT-8M-A-PS-24V-E-0,3-M8D-EX2 drop into a panel that was specified around SMTSO-8E-PS-M12-LED-24 without rewiring?
The electrical output is the same — 24 VDC PNP normally open — but the connector differs: SMT-8M uses an M8 with 0.3 m pigtail, while SMTSO-8E uses an M12. If your harness has an M12 socket, you would need an adapter or to change the connector end.
Where can I buy SMT-8M-A-PS-24V-E-0,3-M8D-EX2?
