Why Choose the Lovato SSF8GP RFID Safety Sensor?
The Lovato SSF8GP is a compact RFID safety sensor designed for non-contact monitoring of guards, doors and other movable machine protection devices. As part of the Lovato SSF series, this 8-pin version combines generic RFID coding with safety-rated OSSD outputs for reliable integration into industrial machine safety systems.
The SSF8GP provides two safe OSSD outputs, one feedback output and two inputs, together with a Start/Restart and EDM input. Its non-contact RFID operating principle helps minimise mechanical wear while providing dependable detection of the associated actuator in demanding automation and machine-guarding applications.
Operating from a nominal 24 V DC supply, the SSF8GP features a 15 cm M12 pigtail connector and supports both automatic and manual restart configurations. With IP67 and IP69K protection and safety performance up to Category 4, PL e, it is well suited to robust industrial safety installations.

Reliable Non-Contact Monitoring for Machine Safety
RFID safety sensors such as the Lovato SSF8GP monitor the position of machine guards without requiring mechanically operated contacts. This non-contact design helps reduce wear and provides reliable guard-position detection for machinery where frequent opening and closing would otherwise place mechanical stress on conventional interlocking devices.
The SSF8GP combines RFID detection with dual OSSD safety outputs and feedback functionality for integration into modern safety control systems. Its robust IP67 and IP69K construction, wide operating temperature range and flexible mounting orientation make it suitable for demanding automated machinery and industrial production environments.
Typical Applications
- Safety guard and machine-door monitoring.
- Non-contact interlocking of movable guards.
- Automated production and assembly machinery.
- Packaging and processing equipment.
- Material handling and conveyor systems.
- OEM machinery and industrial automation systems.
