Product Overview

The Festo SFAH-0.1B-G18FS-PNLK-PNVBA-M8 is a compact, high-precision thermal flow sensor designed to monitor extremely low air and nitrogen flow rates with exceptional accuracy. Using a thermal heat-transfer measuring principle, it measures both mass and volumetric flow bidirectionally and provides fast, stable readings for advanced automation systems.

With its two-colour illuminated display, IO-Link® communication, and multiple analogue and switch outputs, this device is ideal for industrial air monitoring, leak detection, energy management, and system diagnostics in pneumatic networks.

Key Features

• Bidirectional flow measurement for mass and volumetric flow rates.
• Thermal heat-transfer principle ensures high accuracy and stability.
• Measuring range: 0.002 L/min – 0.1 L/min.
• Dual switching outputs: configurable as PNP or NPN with window, threshold, or auto-difference comparator functions.
• Analogue outputs: 0–10 V, 4–20 mA, or 1–5 V.
• IO-Link® V1.1 compatible for parameterisation, diagnostics, and process data monitoring.
• Multicolour LCD display with adjustable units (g, g/min, L, L/h, L/min, scft, scft/h).
• Robust build: reinforced PA housing, silicon and stainless-steel wetted parts.
• Compact and lightweight: only 90 g with G 1/8 internal thread.
• Short-circuit and overload protection for all outputs.
• Configurable via display, teach-in, or IO-Link® interface.
