Product Description
The Festo SDK and SDV series are mechanical end stop signal generators (pneumatic limit valves) designed to detect the end position of pneumatic cylinders and moving machine components . These 3/2-way normally closed valves are mechanically actuated via a plunger or ball actuator, providing a pneumatic output signal when the end position is reached without requiring electrical power .
Key Features & Advantages:
-
Purely Mechanical Operation: Generates a pneumatic switching signal without electrical components, making it ideal for intrinsically safe environments, explosive atmospheres, or applications where electrical sensors are impractical.
-
Versatile Actuation Options: Available with plunger (SDV series) or ball actuator (SDK series) designs, allowing adaptation to different cam and actuator configurations in pneumatic systems .
-
Compact 3/2 Normally Closed Function: Provides reliable 3/2-way NC switching with mechanical spring return, ensuring default closed position when the actuator is not engaged .
-
Wide Operating Range: Operates at pressures from 0 to 8 bar with temperatures from -10°C to +60°C, suitable for diverse industrial environments .
-
PK-3 Barbed Fitting Connections: Features PK-3 pneumatic connections for 3 mm plastic tubing, simplifying integration into existing pneumatic control circuits .
