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 manufactures, markets, and sells a broad range of products for industrial automation. Some of Gavazzi's products are Solid 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's patented Tripleshield™ Capacitive Sensors have become the standard all other manufacturers are measured against. All Tripleshield™ sensors are tested to withstand electrostatic discharges up to 40 KV, line transients up to 4 KV, and airborne noise (ie. cellular phones) up to 15 V/m. Furthermore, some models have built-in humidity compensation. Capacitive proximity sensors will detect most materials - conductive and non-conductive. This makes them ideal for level detection in raw plastic delivery systems and in agricultural applications. Our sensors are available in 12 mm, 18 mm, and 30 mm diameter with both AC and DC outputs. We offer both plastic and metal housings with either a built-in cable or a connector. Gavazzi sensors have adjustable sensitivity making them ideal for your level sensing applications. Furthermore, many models feature our Touch Mode programming for setting sensitivity levels and output status. Carlo Gavazzi offers a comprehensive range of inductive sensors - primarily used to detect metal parts and objects. These sensors are used extensively in packaging and plastics machines, assembly lines and conveyor systems. Our inductive proximity switches feature a 10 year warranty. Gavazzi inductive sensors and proximity switches are available in a wide variety of styles and feature both digital (SCR, transistor) and analogue outputs. We also carry a wide selection of ancillary products such as timers, zero speed relays, counters, and digital speed indicators and tachometers. Carlo Gavazzi offers inductive sensors in cylindrical housings (from 4mm to 30 mm) with both standard and extended sensing distance and in a flat-pack housing.

Carlo Gavazzi comprehensive range of level detection products is well suited to solve most level control applications. Our range is able to detect conductive and non-conductive

liquids, granulates, grains, and plastics.
We offer sensors and control relays for both on/off control and continuous monitoring of levels. We offer conductive probes and amplifiers, capacitive level sensors, ultrasonic sensors, magnetic level probes, and optical sensors.
Typical applications are for level control in wells and municipal water systems, protection of pumps, levels in grain elevators and feed conveyors, and level detection in vacuum delivery systems in the plastics industry.

Carlo Gavazzi offers a comprehensive range of high quality limit switches perfectly suited for a wide variety of sensing applications. We offer a wide variety of actuating heads and numerous housing sizes in either plastic or metal. Connections are made via a 1/2 inch conduit entry. On request we also offer it with PG13.5, PG11, M20x1.5, or M16x1.5 conduit entry.
Various output configurations are available in slow and snap action. Many models also feature force break contacts. Limit switches are frequently used in position detection on doors and machinery and parts detection on conveyors and assembly lines.

Carlo Gavazzi offers a comprehensive range of magnetic sensors for use in proximity detection applications. As their name suggests, they used in conjunction with an external magnet - when the sensor approaches the magnet, the output from the sensor will change state.
Typically these sensors will have a longer sensing distance than typical proximity sensors. As well, the output will be a mechanical contact.
There are a wide variety of styles available including rectangular, cylindrical, and slotted. As well, special coded magnets and sensors are available for use in safety applications. Magnetic sensors are frequently used on elevators and lifts, gate control, level detection, and access control.

Carlo Gavazzi offers a large range of photoelectric sensors which are used extensively on packaging machinery, automatic door systems, and in car washes. Our sensors are available in diffuse reflective, background suppression, reto-reflective, polarized, through beam, clear object detection, and colour recognition.
Gavazzi also offer a range of fibre-optic type sensors for applications where a conventional sensor cannot be used (space restrictions, temperature, atmosphere).
Also included in Gavazzi's range are our VP series optical types. These are ideal for use in level applications. They are available in various housing materials which allow their use in various industrial cleaning solutions.

Carlo Gavazzi’s UA Series ultrasonic sensors are designed for both distance measurement and object detection in tough environments. The range consists of both M18 and M30 housings. Discrete output types are available for presence and absence detection, and are ideally suited for detecting objects,such as transparent objects, that cannot be reliably detected by other sensors. Analog output types are available on our sensors for applications requiring a measurement of the target object, such as detecting the level of fluid in a tank. The analog models have your choice of 0-10 VDC or 4-20 mA outputs.
Gavazzi's more advanced ultrasonic sensor models incorporate teach functions, which allow the set-points to be configured with the push of a button, and via Windows-based software for applications where greater control of sensor parameters and variables is required. The Windows version also allows for settings to be saved and downloaded to multiple devices.
