Product Description

The SMC D-M9PAVL is a perpendicular solid state auto switch, a type of pneumatic position sensor. It features a PNP output, operates at 28 V DC or less, and has a maximum load current of 40 mA or less. This IP67-rated switch is designed for direct mounting in pneumatic cylinder applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the SMC D-M9PAVL used for?

The SMC D-M9PAVL is a perpendicular solid state auto switch used as a pneumatic position sensor. It detects the position of a cylinder piston in industrial automation systems, providing a PNP output signal to a PLC or controller. Typical applications include packaging, material handling, and assembly lines.

What are the specifications of the SMC D-M9PAVL?

The SMC D-M9PAVL is a perpendicular solid state auto switch with PNP output. It operates at 28 V DC or less and has a maximum load current of 40 mA or less. The switch is IP67 rated for dust and water ingress protection. The manufacturer part number is D-M9PAVL.

Where to buy the SMC D-M9PAVL worldwide?

You can source the SMC D-M9PAVL through 3G Electric, a global industrial equipment distributor. We handle full logistics, customs clearance, and delivery to worldwide destinations. Contact us for availability and lead time. We supply genuine SMC components for pneumatic automation systems.

How to install the SMC D-M9PAVL on a cylinder?

The SMC D-M9PAVL is designed for direct mounting on pneumatic cylinders with a perpendicular orientation. Ensure the cylinder groove is clean, then insert the switch until it snaps into place. Connect the PNP output to a 24 VDC input module. Verify the LED indicator lights when the piston is detected.
