Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi SA8 Rectangular Magnetic Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi SA8 is a compact and dependable rectangular magnetic proximity sensor designed for non-contact position and presence detection in industrial automation systems. As part of the Carlo Gavazzi S series, it uses a normally open dry reed contact that changes state when a suitable magnetic actuator enters its operating range.
The SA8 combines a simple passive sensing principle with a robust plastic housing, making it suitable for machinery, doors, gates and other applications where reliable magnetic detection is required. Because the sensing element is magnetically actuated, the sensor can provide switching without mechanical contact between the sensor and the moving component.
With a maximum switching distance of 32 mm, maximum switching voltage of 1500 V AC, maximum switching current of 3 A and maximum switching power of 120 VA, the SA8 offers substantial contact capability in a compact format. A factory-fitted 0.5 m PVC cable and IP67 protection support straightforward installation in demanding industrial environments.

Reliable Magnetic Proximity Detection for Industrial Machinery
Magnetic proximity sensors such as the Carlo Gavazzi SA8 detect a magnetic actuator without requiring physical contact with the moving component. When the magnet enters the sensor's operating range, the internal reed contact changes state to provide a straightforward switching signal for industrial control and monitoring circuits.
The SA8's passive reed-switch design, compact rectangular housing and sealed IP67 construction make it suitable for industrial installations where simple and reliable position detection is required. Its wide operating temperature range and integrated cable further simplify installation on machinery, access systems and automated equipment.
Typical Applications
- Machine position and presence detection.
- Industrial door and gate monitoring.
- Guard and enclosure position sensing.
- Conveyor and material handling equipment.
- Automated production machinery.
- Lift and elevator control systems.
- Magnetically actuated industrial switching applications.
