Pneumatic sensors, including pneumatic proximity sensors, are components designed to convert the measurement of physical inputs (such as flow or pressure) into an electrical unit of measurement.
Sensors and switches serve as tools to quantify and monitor various parameters within your applications, enhancing both productivity and process efficiency. Additionally, our sensors assist in maintaining your installations to ensure seamless operation.
At SMC, reliability and attention to detail are always our top priorities. Explore the range of sensors available in our digital catalog and select the product that best suits your needs: improve the accuracy and efficiency of your processes.
Types of Pneumatic Sensors and Pneumatic Switches offered by SMC Lietuva
Here, you'll find the various types of industrial sensors offered by SMC Lietuva, along with their applications and technical specifications.
Flow Switches for air and liquids
Our digital flow switches provide precise monitoring of air and liquid flow, delivering real-time insights such as flow rate, accumulated flow, maximum/minimum values, leakage detection, downtime consumption, and temperature.
Flow switches for air and liquids are widely used in applications including:
- Equipment flow control
- Monitoring of main and branch lines
- Gas filling operations
- Nitrogen flow regulation
- Air leakage detection
- Fluid flow management in thermo-chillers
- Monitoring the flow of water-soluble coolants
- Controlling the flow of cooling water for metal mold applications
Vacuum and Pressure Switches
Vacuum switches and pressure switches are essential for accurately monitoring machine pressure, minimizing the risk of switching errors.
SMC pressure switches can be configured to provide results in both analog and digital formats, making them invaluable for identifying potential fault sources and reducing machine downtime.
SMC vacuum switches are available for positive pressure, vacuum, or a combination of both pressure ranges. This versatility makes them suitable for a variety of applications, including:
- Absorption confirmation
- Coolant pressure control
- Price positioning verification
- Leak testing
- Supply pressure confirmation
- Filter clogging monitoring
Auto Switches for cylinders
Auto switches are designed to detect the piston position in pneumatic and/or electric cylinders and grippers (with magnetic options).
These switches are commonly used in industrial applications such as:
- Pick-and-place machines
- Inspection of machined holes
- Dimensional measurement
- Product positioning verification
