fslpa7 – mag sensor pl dia 16mm n/o
Carlo Gavazzi FSLPA7 is a 16 mm cylindrical plastic magnetic proximity sensor with a normally open reed output, up to 25 mm front operating distance, 0.4 A maximum switching current, 2 m PVC cable and IP67 protection.
Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi FSLPA7 Magnetic Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi FSLPA7 is a robust and reliable magnetic proximity sensor designed for non-contact position and presence detection in industrial machinery, automation equipment and control systems. As part of the Carlo Gavazzi FSLP series, it combines a cylindrical plastic housing with a 16 mm diameter, normally open reed-switch output and generous sensing distance for dependable industrial position monitoring.
This sensor operates through magnetic actuation, allowing its internal reed contact to switch without physical contact between the sensor and moving machine component. This non-contact principle helps minimise mechanical wear and makes the FSLPA7 particularly suitable for position monitoring, end-of-travel detection and machine status applications where reliable repeated switching is required.
The FSLPA7 provides a maximum operating distance of approximately 25 mm from the front and greater than 15 mm from the side. Its normally open contact supports a maximum switching voltage of 100 V AC, maximum switching current of 0.4 A and maximum switching power of 10 VA. A durable IP67 plastic housing and integrated 2 m PVC cable support straightforward installation in demanding industrial environments.

Reliable Non-Contact Position Detection
Magnetic proximity sensors such as the Carlo Gavazzi FSLPA7 detect a suitable magnetic actuator and operate an internal reed contact without requiring direct mechanical contact. This provides a dependable method of detecting the position of doors, guards and moving machine components while helping reduce mechanical wear associated with conventional contact-operated limit switches.
The Carlo Gavazzi FSLP series is designed for industrial magnetic sensing applications requiring a durable cylindrical sensor with a relatively long operating distance. The FSLPA7 combines a normally open output, plastic 16 mm housing, integrated cable and IP67 environmental protection for convenient integration into machinery and automated systems.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machine position detection.
- End-of-travel and limit sensing.
- Doors, hatches and access-panel monitoring.
- Material handling and conveyor systems.
- Industrial automation and control equipment.
- OEM machinery and production equipment.
