Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi FSS2/S1/2MT Magnetic Sensor?

The Carlo Gavazzi FSS2/S1/2MT is a compact and reliable cylindrical magnetic proximity sensor designed for contactless position detection in industrial automation and control applications. As part of the Carlo Gavazzi FS series, it uses a reed contact to provide dependable switching when an appropriate magnetic actuator enters its sensing range.

Featuring a robust M10 × 1.25 threaded brass housing, the FSS2/S1/2MT can be securely mounted in machinery, pneumatic equipment and automated systems where compact dimensions are important. Its change-over contact arrangement provides flexible integration into control circuits, while the sealed construction is suitable for demanding industrial environments.

The sensor is supplied with a 2 m PVC cable and offers a maximum switching current of 1 A. With IP67 protection and an operating temperature range of approximately -25 °C to +75 °C, it provides reliable magnetic position sensing across a wide range of industrial applications.

Reliable Magnetic Position Detection for Automation

Magnetic proximity sensors such as the Carlo Gavazzi FSS2/S1/2MT detect the presence of a magnetic field without requiring direct mechanical contact with the moving component. This makes them particularly useful for monitoring piston positions, machine mechanisms, doors and other moving assemblies where reliable non-contact switching is required.

The FS series combines simple reed-switch technology with rugged industrial housings and straightforward cable connections. The FSS2/S1/2MT's compact threaded brass body enables precise positioning during installation, while its change-over contact provides flexibility when interfacing with relays, PLC inputs and other machine-control equipment.

Typical Applications

  • Pneumatic cylinder position detection.
  • Industrial machinery position sensing.
  • Automated production and assembly equipment.
  • Door, hatch and mechanism monitoring.
  • Packaging and material handling machinery.
  • PLC and relay-based automation systems.
