Actuator Switches
Actuator switches, also known as auto switches, are specifically designed to function with pneumatic actuators, electric actuators, and finger grippers. Using magnets embedded within the piston rods, these switches precisely determine the position of the actuator.
The position is detected through the cylinder or gripper walls, enabling contactless operation. This eliminates wear and tear, ensuring long-lasting and reliable performance.
Actuator switches are highly versatile and widely utilized in various industrial applications, including:
- Pick and Place Machines
- Length/Width Sorting
- Machine-Made Hole Verification
- Size Measurement
- Product Positioning Verification
SMC offers advanced actuator switches engineered to optimize performance across a range of industries, delivering efficiency and precision with every use.
