Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi FMPC7 Magnetic Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi FMPC7 is a compact magnetic proximity sensor from the FMP series, designed for reliable non-contact position and presence detection in industrial automation applications. It uses a reed-switch sensing principle within a cylindrical threaded plastic housing, providing simple and dependable magnetic target detection without mechanical contact.
The FMPC7 features a normally closed (NC) reed output with a maximum switching current of 500 mA and maximum switching voltage of 120 V AC/DC. Its specified maximum switching distance is 23 mm, allowing suitable magnetic targets to be detected while maintaining physical separation between the sensor and moving equipment.
With an M12 × 1 threaded cylindrical housing, integral 2 m cable and IP67 protection, the FMPC7 provides a compact solution for machine positioning, automation and equipment-monitoring applications. An operating temperature range of -25 °C to +75 °C supports use across a wide variety of industrial environments.

Reliable Non-Contact Magnetic Position Sensing
The Carlo Gavazzi FMPC7 detects an appropriate magnetic target using a reed-switch sensing element, allowing position or presence to be monitored without direct physical contact between the sensor and moving component. This non-contact operating principle reduces mechanical wear and makes magnetic sensors particularly useful for repetitive industrial positioning applications.
Its 23 mm maximum switching distance, normally closed output and M12 threaded construction make the FMPC7 suitable for integration into machinery and automated systems. The IP67 enclosure and wide operating temperature range further support reliable use in industrial environments where dust, moisture and changing ambient conditions may be present.
