Lovato SSF5GM is a generic-coded non-contact RFID safety sensor with a 5-pin M12 connection for monitoring movable guards and protected access points on industrial machinery.
£152.03
The Lovato SSF5GM is a compact and reliable RFID safety sensor designed for non-contact monitoring of guards, doors and other movable protective devices on industrial machinery. As part of the Lovato SSF safety sensor series, it uses RFID technology to provide dependable guard-position detection without the mechanical wear associated with conventional electromechanical safety switches.
The SSF5GM is a generic-coded RFID safety sensor, providing straightforward integration where a high level of individual actuator coding is not required. Its non-contact operating principle makes it particularly useful on machinery subject to frequent access, vibration, contamination or alignment variations, while electronic safety outputs allow integration with compatible safety relays and programmable safety controllers.
Featuring a 5-pin M12 connector, the SSF5GM enables convenient connection and replacement within industrial safety systems. The sensor is suitable for monitoring protective guards across automated machinery, production equipment, packaging systems and material handling installations.
RFID safety sensors such as the Lovato SSF5GM monitor the position of movable guards without requiring physical contact between the sensor and its associated actuator. When the guard is correctly closed, the RFID sensor recognises the actuator and allows the associated safety control system to determine that the protected machinery can operate under the configured safety conditions.
Non-contact sensing is particularly valuable in industrial environments because there are no mechanically operated contacts or plungers at the guard interface. This can reduce wear and maintenance while providing greater installation flexibility for frequently opened doors, covers and access guards.

The SSF5GM is an RFID safety sensor designed for non-contact monitoring of movable guards, safety doors and other protected access points on industrial machinery.
Generic coding means the sensor uses a non-unique RFID coding arrangement, allowing compatible generic actuators to be recognised without requiring an individually paired actuator.
The Lovato SSF5GM is equipped with a 5-pin M12 connection for integration into industrial machinery safety systems.
An RFID safety sensor operates without mechanical contact between the sensor and actuator, helping reduce mechanical wear while providing reliable guard-position monitoring for industrial machinery.
The SSF5GM is typically installed on machinery safety doors, guards, covers and other movable protective devices where the machine control system must monitor whether access protection is correctly positioned.
Lovato SSF RFID safety sensors provide machine builders and automation engineers with non-contact guard monitoring for modern machinery safety systems, combining RFID sensing technology with convenient industrial connectivity.
