Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi FSC2 Magnetic Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi FSC2 is a compact magnetic proximity sensor with normally closed reed output designed for reliable non-contact position and presence detection in industrial automation and machinery. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi FS Series, it uses magnetic actuation to provide dependable switching without requiring physical contact between the sensor and moving target.
The FSC2 features a compact 13.5 mm diameter cylindrical plastic housing and a normally closed (NC) dry reed contact. When used with a suitable magnetic actuator, the sensor provides straightforward position indication for machinery, doors, covers, actuators and automated equipment while minimising mechanical wear.
Designed for industrial applications, the FSC2 provides a maximum operating distance of 12 mm, maximum switching voltage of 250 V AC, maximum switching current of 3 A and maximum switching power of 100 VA. Its integrated 0.5 m cable, -25 to +75 °C operating temperature range and IP67 protection make it a durable solution for industrial position monitoring.
