Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi CL31 Cylindrical Magnetic Actuator?
The Carlo Gavazzi CL31 is a compact cylindrical magnetic actuator designed for use with compatible Carlo Gavazzi magnetic proximity sensors in industrial automation and position-detection applications. As part of the Carlo Gavazzi CL series magnetic units, it provides a simple and reliable magnetic target for non-contact sensing systems.
The CL31 features a hard ferrite magnetic element and a smooth, unthreaded cylindrical construction. Because the actuator is completely passive, it requires no electrical supply, wiring or electronic configuration, making it particularly straightforward to install on moving machine components, doors, guards and mechanisms that need to be detected by a magnetic sensor.
With a diameter of 31 mm and a height of 10 mm, the CL31 offers a compact format for industrial installations where space is limited. Its ferrite construction provides a permanent magnetic field for dependable actuation of compatible magnetic sensors, while the CL-series design makes it suitable for a broad range of machine automation and position-monitoring applications.

Reliable Magnetic Actuation for Industrial Position Sensing
Magnetic actuators such as the Carlo Gavazzi CL31 create a permanent magnetic field that can be detected by a compatible magnetic proximity sensor. This enables non-contact detection of position and movement without the actuator requiring electrical power or a physical switching mechanism, helping minimise mechanical wear in repetitive industrial applications.
The CL31's compact cylindrical format makes it suitable for mounting on moving machine parts, access panels, doors and mechanisms. When correctly positioned relative to a compatible sensor, it provides a straightforward magnetic target for dependable presence and position monitoring in automated machinery.
Typical Applications
- Industrial magnetic proximity sensing systems.
- Machine position and presence detection.
- Door, hatch and access-panel monitoring.
- Industrial automation and production machinery.
- Moving mechanism and component detection.
