Carlo Gavazzi Industrial Sensors
Carlo Gavazzi manufactures a comprehensive range of industrial sensors for automation and control applications. All sensors feature the patented Tripleshield technology, providing industry-leading protection against electromagnetic interference.
Tripleshield Protection
Carlo Gavazzi's patented Tripleshield sensors have become the standard all other manufacturers are measured against. Every Tripleshield sensor is tested to withstand:
- Electrostatic Discharges (ESD) — Up to 40 KV
- Line Transients — Up to 4 KV
- Airborne Noise (EMI) — Up to 15 V/m (cellular phones, radios)
Select models also include built-in humidity compensation for demanding environments.
