Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi FSS2 Magnetic Proximity Sensor?

The Carlo Gavazzi FSS2 is a compact 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 FS series, it features a cylindrical plastic housing with a 13.5 mm diameter and a change-over reed-switch output for flexible industrial sensing applications.

This sensor operates through magnetic actuation, allowing its internal reed contact to change state without requiring physical contact between the sensor and moving component. The change-over contact provides both normally open and normally closed switching functions, making the FSS2 suitable for position monitoring, end-of-travel detection and machine status applications where versatile switching behaviour is required.

With a maximum operating distance of 12 mm, a change-over (CO) reed output and a maximum switching current of 1 A, the FSS2 provides dependable magnetic sensing in a compact format. Its IP67 protection rating, 0.5 m PVC cable and operating temperature range of -25 to +75 °C make it suitable for demanding industrial installations.

Reliable Change-Over Position Detection for Industrial Machinery

Magnetic proximity sensors such as the Carlo Gavazzi FSS2 detect a suitable magnetic actuator and switch an internal reed contact without requiring direct mechanical contact. This provides a dependable method of monitoring machine positions while reducing the mechanical wear associated with conventional contact-operated limit switches.

The Carlo Gavazzi FS series includes cylindrical magnetic sensors with normally open, normally closed, change-over and bistable switching configurations. The FSS2 combines a versatile change-over output with a compact 13.5 mm plastic housing, integrated PVC cable and IP67 environmental protection for straightforward integration into machinery and automation systems.
