sbs2 – rect mag sensor pl bistable c/o
Carlo Gavazzi SBS2 rectangular magnetic proximity sensor with bistable change-over reed contact, plastic housing and IP67 protection for reliable industrial position detection.
Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi SBS2 Magnetic Rectangular Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi SBS2 is a compact rectangular magnetic proximity sensor with bistable change-over (C/O) output designed for reliable non-contact position detection in industrial automation and machine-control applications. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi S Series magnetic sensor range, it combines a robust plastic housing with reed-contact technology for dependable switching performance.
The SBS2 uses a bistable change-over switching function, allowing the sensor state to be maintained after actuation until the magnetic field changes again. This makes it suitable for applications where retained switching behaviour, accurate position indication and long operating life are required.
Featuring an IP67 protection rating, a rectangular plastic enclosure and a PVC cable connection, the Carlo Gavazzi SBS2 is designed for demanding industrial environments including machinery, automation equipment and access monitoring systems.
