fss2/s4/2mt – mag sensor br m12 c/o
Carlo Gavazzi FSS2/S4/2MT is an M12 brass magnetic proximity sensor with a change-over reed contact, 7–12 mm operating distance, 2 m PVC cable and IP67 protection for industrial position detection.
Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi FSS2/S4/2MT Magnetic Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi FSS2/S4/2MT is a compact and reliable cylindrical magnetic proximity sensor designed for contactless position detection in industrial automation and machinery. As part of the Carlo Gavazzi FS series, it combines a change-over reed contact with a robust brass housing for dependable switching in demanding applications.
Featuring an M12 × 1 threaded brass housing, the FSS2/S4/2MT provides straightforward mechanical installation and precise positioning near a suitable magnetic actuator. The sensor uses front-side magnetic switching and can also be mounted on ferromagnetic supports, although the available operating distance may be reduced where the magnetic field is affected by the mounting material.
The FSS2/S4/2MT provides a 7–12 mm operating distance, a maximum switching voltage of 230 V AC, a maximum switching current of 1 A and a maximum switching power of 60 VA. Its integrated 2 m PVC cable, IP67 protection and operating temperature range of -25 °C to +75 °C make it well suited to industrial position-sensing applications.
