Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi FSA2 Magnetic Proximity Sensor?

The Carlo Gavazzi FSA2 is a compact and reliable magnetic proximity sensor with normally open reed contact designed for non-contact position and presence detection in industrial automation systems. As part of the Carlo Gavazzi FS Series, it uses magnetic actuation to provide dependable switching without requiring physical contact between the sensor and the moving target.

The FSA2 features a compact 13.5 mm diameter cylindrical plastic housing and a normally open (NO) reed-switch output. When a suitable magnet enters the sensor's operating range, the reed contact changes state, providing a simple and robust switching signal for machine controls, position monitoring and automated equipment.

Designed for industrial installations, the FSA2 offers a maximum switching distance of 12 mm, maximum switching voltage of 250 V AC, maximum switching current of 3 A and maximum switching power of 100 VA. A factory-fitted 0.5 m cable, wide operating temperature range and IP67 protection make it suitable for demanding machinery and automation environments.

Reliable Magnetic Position Detection for Industrial Automation

Magnetic proximity sensors provide non-contact switching by responding to the magnetic field generated by a suitable permanent magnet. Because mechanical contact between the sensor and target is unnecessary, the Carlo Gavazzi FSA2 can provide dependable position indication with minimal mechanical wear in industrial machinery and automated equipment.

The FSA2's normally open reed contact, compact cylindrical housing and generous electrical switching capability make it useful for straightforward position, door, cover and movement monitoring. Its sealed IP67 construction and broad operating temperature range also support installation in industrial environments where reliable long-term sensing is required.

Typical Applications

• Machine position and presence detection.
• Industrial door and access-panel monitoring.
• Linear actuator position sensing.
• Automated production and assembly equipment.
• Packaging and processing machinery.
• Material handling and conveyor systems.
• End-position and travel detection.
• Industrial automation and control systems.
