Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi CL.31 Magnetic Unit?
The Carlo Gavazzi CL.31 is a cylindrical magnetic actuator unit designed for use with compatible Carlo Gavazzi magnetic sensors and reed switches. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi CL series of magnetic units, it provides the permanent magnetic field required to actuate a suitable non-contact magnetic sensing device.
The CL.31 features a compact 31 mm diameter circular ferrite construction with a height of just 10 mm. Its simple passive design requires no electrical supply or wiring, making it a practical actuator for position, presence and movement detection systems.
Designed as an accessory for compatible Carlo Gavazzi magnetic sensors, the CL.31 can be used in machinery and automation systems where contactless switching is preferred. The achievable operating distance depends on the magnetic sensor paired with the unit and the mounting arrangement.

Reliable Magnetic Actuation for Non-Contact Sensing
Magnetic sensing systems use a permanent magnet and a compatible magnetic sensor to detect position or movement without requiring physical contact between the actuator and switching element. The Carlo Gavazzi CL.31 provides the magnetic actuator portion of such a system, allowing the associated sensor to change state when the magnet moves within its specified operating distance.
Because the CL.31 contains no electrical switching components, it requires no supply voltage or wiring. Its compact ferrite construction makes it suitable for attachment to moving machine parts, doors, guards and other components whose position needs to be detected by a compatible Carlo Gavazzi magnetic sensor.
