Carlo Gavazzi FMPC9 (FMP.C.9) is an M12 × 1 magnetic proximity sensor with a normally closed dry reed contact, 26 mm maximum switching distance, 3 A maximum switching current, 2 m cable and IP67 protection for reliable non-contact industrial position detection.
£44.04
The Carlo Gavazzi FMPC9, also designated FMP.C.9, is a compact magnetic proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact position and presence detection in industrial automation applications. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi FMP series, it uses a dry reed contact within a cylindrical threaded plastic housing.
The FMPC9 provides a normally closed (NC) reed output with a maximum switching voltage of 230 V AC/DC, maximum switching current of 3 A and maximum switching power of 60 VA. Its maximum switching distance of 26 mm enables dependable detection of a suitable magnetic target without physical contact.
With an M12 × 1 threaded cylindrical housing, integral 2 m cable, IP67 protection and an operating temperature range from -25 °C to +75 °C, the FMPC9 provides a durable and straightforward sensing solution for industrial machinery, automation and positioning systems.
The Carlo Gavazzi FMPC9 detects the presence of an appropriate magnetic target using a dry reed contact, enabling position monitoring without direct mechanical contact between the sensor and moving equipment. This operating principle reduces mechanical wear and makes magnetic proximity sensing particularly suitable for repetitive industrial position-detection duties.
The combination of a 26 mm maximum switching distance, normally closed output and compact M12 threaded construction makes the FMPC9 suitable for integration into machines and automated equipment. Its IP67 enclosure and wide operating temperature range further support dependable operation in industrial environments where dust, moisture and changing ambient conditions may be present.
