FMA6S3 – FM.A.6/S3 MAGNETIC SENSOR REV12
Carlo Gavazzi FMA6S3 (FM.A.6/S3) is a cylindrical magnetic proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact position detection in lift, elevator and industrial automation applications.
Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi FM.A.6/S3 Magnetic Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi FM.A.6/S3, manufacturer part number FMA6S3, is a magnetic proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact position detection in industrial automation and lift applications. Its magnetic sensing principle enables dependable detection without requiring direct mechanical contact with the moving component.
The FM.A.6/S3 features a cylindrical black housing and is particularly associated with lift shaft and elevator positioning applications. Magnetic proximity sensing helps reduce mechanical wear compared with conventional mechanically actuated switches, making the sensor suitable for applications requiring repetitive position detection.
Designed for integration into industrial control systems, the FMA6S3 provides a practical sensing solution for detecting the presence or position of a corresponding magnetic target. Its compact construction makes it suitable for installation where space-efficient, repeatable non-contact detection is required.

Reliable Magnetic Proximity and Position Sensing
Magnetic proximity sensors detect the presence or position of a magnetic target without requiring direct mechanical contact. This operating principle is particularly useful in repetitive positioning applications because there is no conventional mechanical actuator that must physically engage the moving component during each sensing cycle.
The Carlo Gavazzi FM.A.6/S3 can be incorporated into lift, elevator and industrial control systems where reliable position information is required. Its cylindrical format allows the sensor to be positioned near the intended magnetic target and integrated into the associated control system for repeatable proximity detection.
Typical Applications
- Lift and elevator shaft position sensing.
- Elevator control and positioning systems.
- Industrial proximity detection.
- Machine position monitoring.
- Automated equipment position sensing.
- Non-contact detection of magnetic targets.
