The Carlo Gavazzi FSB2/2MT, manufacturer part number FSB22MT, is a compact bistable magnetic proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact position detection in industrial automation and machinery. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi FS Series, it uses a magnetically operated reed contact and retains its switched state until actuated by the opposite magnetic pole.
The FSB2/2MT features a cylindrical M16 × 1.5 threaded plastic housing, allowing secure installation into machinery, brackets and automated equipment. Its bistable output is particularly useful where the sensor must maintain its last switching state after the actuating magnet has moved away, providing dependable position memory without continuous electrical power to the sensing element.
Designed for demanding industrial applications, the FSB2/2MT provides an operating distance of 11–32 mm, maximum switching voltage of 250 V AC, maximum switching current of 3 A and maximum switching power of 100 VA. A factory-fitted 2 m PVC cable, operating temperature range of -25 to +75 °C and IP67 protection make it a robust solution for industrial position and movement monitoring.
Bistable magnetic sensors differ from conventional monostable reed sensors because the output retains its last switched condition after the actuating magnet moves away. A magnetic field of the appropriate opposite polarity is then used to change the output back to its other state. This makes the Carlo Gavazzi FSB2/2MT particularly useful for applications requiring position memory or detection of two defined movement states.
The combination of an M16 × 1.5 threaded housing, 11–32 mm operating distance and integrated 2 m PVC cable allows straightforward mechanical and electrical installation. With no physical contact required between the sensor and magnetic actuator, the FSB2/2MT provides a durable solution for repetitive position monitoring in industrial automation equipment.
