Auto Switch

• Actuator stroke position is detected with an analogue signal
• IO-Link compatible
• Directly slotted into the actuator groove
• Repeatability of 0.1 mm
• 4 measurement ranges
• Flexible switch output.

SMC offers a variety of auto switches for actuators and air grippers. Solid state switches are available in a general purpose type or with 2-colour indication, which allows the optimum operating position to be determined by the colour of the light. Solid state switches are also available in 2-colour indication with diagnostic output, water resistant 2-colour indication, built-in OFF-delay timer (200 ms), magnetic field resistant, heat resistant and wide range detection configurations. Various lead wire lengths are available.

Magnetic field resistant, heat resistant and wide range detection configurations. Various lead wire lengths are available.

Expanding the number of actuator series that accept compact auto switches. One auto switch for four different mounting types.

SMC's pre-wired connector auto switches are available in 3 or 4 pin 8mm style, or 4 pin 12mm style. 3 standard wire lengths are also available: 0.5m (S), 1.0m (M) and 3.0m (L). With the use of the pre-wired connector switch, the need for minimum order quantities for "special" auto switches with connectors is eliminated, and wiring with the use of standard connectors is simplified.
