Overview

The Carlo Gavazzi SA2 is a side-operated magnetic proximity sensor from the S Series, engineered for reliable non-contact detection in industrial settings. This Normally Open (NO) reed contact model requires an external magnet for activation and provides a sensing range of up to 32mm. The sensor features a durable PBT plastic enclosure measuring 79 x 21.2 x 11.5 mm, offering robust IP67 protection against dust and water ingress. It is rated for switching up to 250 VAC and 3 A, with a maximum switching power of 100 VA. The SA2 includes a 0.5m PVC cable for straightforward connection and carries CE and cULus certifications for compliance with international safety standards. Ideal for applications demanding precise positioning and alignment, the SA2 is commonly utilized in elevator alignment systems, gate control mechanisms, and level detection in tanks or conveyors. Its compact design and resilient construction are well-suited for installation in confined spaces or challenging operating conditions where unwavering reliability is paramount. The sensor’s side-operated reed contact ensures stable operation without mechanical wear, contributing to reduced maintenance requirements and extended service life.
