Sensors, Switches & Controllers
SMC sensors, switches, and controllers are the intelligence of pneumatic and automation systems. While actuators, valves, and other components provide motion and airflow, sensors and controllers supply the feedback, monitoring, and precision control needed to make processes reliable, efficient, and adaptable.
Description
Key product groups include:
- Pressure sensors & switches – monitor air or vacuum pressure and send signals to ensure proper operating conditions.
- Flow sensors – measure airflow to detect leaks, optimize energy use, or verify system performance.
- Proximity switches – detect the position of a cylinder piston for accurate motion control.
- Vacuum switches & sensors – confirm suction levels in material-handling applications.
- Temperature and level sensors – track environmental or process conditions.
- Controllers – manage and process input from sensors, valves, and actuators, often integrating with PLCs and industrial networks.
