Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi S.B.2/S5 Magnetic Rectangular Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi S.B.2/S5 is a robust bistable magnetic proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact position detection in industrial automation and machine control applications. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi S series, it features a compact rectangular plastic housing, side-operated magnetic switching and a sensitive reed contact for dependable position feedback.
The S.B.2/S5 uses a bistable output function, allowing its switching state to be maintained until the appropriate magnetic field causes it to change state. This makes the sensor particularly useful in positioning, sequencing and machine-status applications where retained switching behaviour is required.
With an IP67 protection rating, an operating temperature range of -25 to +75 °C and a durable plastic enclosure, the S.B.2/S5 is well suited to demanding industrial environments. Its compact 21.2 × 11.5 × 79 mm body and integrated PVC cable simplify installation on machinery and automated equipment.

Reliable Bistable Position Detection for Industrial Automation
Bistable magnetic proximity sensors provide non-contact switching while retaining their output state after the activating magnetic field has changed. This behaviour makes them particularly suitable for applications requiring reliable position memory, sequencing or status indication without continuous mechanical actuation.
The Carlo Gavazzi S series combines a compact rectangular housing with reliable reed-contact technology. A range of compatible magnetic units allows different operating distances to be achieved, helping the S.B.2/S5 adapt to varied machine layouts and sensing requirements.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machine position detection.
- Automation sequencing and status monitoring.
- Lift and elevator positioning systems.
- Material handling and conveyor equipment.
- Packaging and production machinery.
- OEM machinery and automated control systems.
