Carlo Gavazzi ~ Automation and Switching Products

Carlo Gavazzi manufactures, markets, and sells a broad range of products for industrial automation. Some of Gavazzi's products areSolid State Relays, Timers, Capacitive Proximity Sensors / Switches, Inductive Proximity Switches / Sensors, Current monitors, Voltage Monitors, Phase Monitors, Digital Panel Meters,Photo Electric Sensors / Switches, Laser Sensors, Ultra Sonic Sensors, Safety Light Curtains,Safety Mats, Mechanical Relays, Contactors, Rotary Disconnect Switches, and Power Supplies.

Carlo Gavazzi offers a complete range of push buttons, selector switches, and indicator lights. Gavazzi
switches are available with flush, extended, and mushroom heads and in a wide variety of colours - both standard and illuminated. Gavazzi push buttons are available with either a plastic or metal ring and in versions for 22 mm and 30 mm mounting.
Gavazzi selector switches are available with long or short handles. Gavazzi short handle types are also available in illuminated versions. Gavazzi selector switches are available with either a plastic or metal ring and are available in versions for 22 mm and 30 mm mounting.
Carlo Gavazzi also offers a broad selection of indicators lights featuring LED lights with a service life in excess of 100,000 hours. In addition to a wide selection of colours, there are various lens types and styles making them suitable for most applications. Gavazzi even offer dual colour indicators and to top off our range, buzzers and flashing buzzers.


Carlo Gavazzi offers a range of motor controllers for soft starting/stopping, dynamic braking, and reversing of three phase squirrel cage motors. Applications include conveyor systems, pumps, compressors, industrial dryers, mixers, automatic doors, palletizers, and fans.
Gavazzi soft starters are available with a ramp characteristic suited to starting both compressors and pumps and furthermore, it includes a 'Kick-Start' feature to start loads with a higher break-away torque. Gavazzi soft start controllers feature internal bypass relays which eliminate the need for large external heatsinks. This minimizes the space requirements in your panel and also greatly reduces the heat generated.

Gavazzi also offer soft starters with built-in over temperature monitoring, thermal monitoring of motor via PTC sensor, and built-in overload protection (class 10 or class 20).

Carlo Gavazzi offers a comprehensive range of solid state relays (SSR’s) featuring direct copper bonding
technology for increased life and reliability. SSR’s are used extensively in the plastics, packaging, food processing, and HVAC industries - primarily for temperature control. They are the logical replacement for mercury contactors. Other applications include lighting and pump switching. Furthermore, many of Gavazzi's relays feature horsepower ratings making them suitable for controlling motorized dampers in HVAC control systems - where their long life and noise-free switching make them ideal replacements for mechanical contactors. Carlo Gavazzi's range includes single phase relays up to 125 amps and 3 phase relays up to 75 amps. They are available with both digital and analogue inputs (4-20 mA or 0-10 V) Furthermore, we also offer a complete range of SSR's with a built-in heatsink.

Carlo Gavazzi offers a comprehensive range of electro-mechanical relays for
industrial automation. We offer relays for switching loads up to 30 Amps with a wide selection of coil voltages. They are available in plug-in and PCB mounting.

Many of our relays come standard with a push-to-test button as well as an LED indicator.
They are frequently used in control panels, in HVAC control systems, pump and compressor control, and electronic and consumer products.
They are typically used to switch loads such as heaters, lights, and motors.

Carlo Gavazzi offers a complete range of Contactors and Overloads for switching currents up to 900 Amps (600 HP @ 480 VAC). All contactors are available with a wide selection of coil voltages and come standard with built-in auxillary outputs. Interlock and wiring kits are available to turn 2 standard contactors into reversing contactors.
In addition, Gavazzi's range also includes
Definite Purpose Contactors up to 50 Amps in 1 pole,1 pole + shunt, 2 pole, and 3 pole configurations. The 3 pole types can also be configured as reversing starters. View Brochure
Gavazzi also offer complete enclosed starters with a choice of plastic or metal housing. Starters are available with none or with a start and stop pushbutton. Gavazzi's range also includes
Manual Motor Starters up to 100 Amps


Gavazzi's VariFlex2 Series is a compact, user friendly, and feature-laden AC variable speed drive for use with 3-phase AC induction motors up to 3 HP.The drives can be installed side by side (DIN mount or panel mount) thereby freeing up valuable panel space.VariFlex2 drives can be supplied with input voltages from 110 VAC single phase up to 480 VAC three phase.
Configuration of the Variflex2 can be quickly carried out via the front panel or via the RVEFSoft software (which can be download free of charge online) ensuring you are up and running in no time.
  • Sensorless vector control (with high starting torque) or V/F control
  • Speed control via front panel (digitally or via an adjustable knob)
  • PID function
  • I/O expansion (2 input/1 output insulated)
  • DIN rail or panel mounting and remote Keypad available
  • RS232 or RS485 MODBus RTU/ASCII serial communications available on all models through an option card
  • Copy card option for fast and easy setup of identical drives
