Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi MC36CH2OLM5 Safety Magnetic Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi MC36CH2OLM5 is a compact safety magnetic sensor designed for non-contact monitoring of guards, doors and access points on industrial machinery. As part of the Carlo Gavazzi MC36 safety sensor family, it provides reliable position detection without the mechanical wear associated with conventional contact-operated safety switches.
This version features a left-hand sensor configuration with 2 normally open (2NO) safety contacts. Magnetic actuation allows the sensor and its matching coded actuator to operate without physical contact, making the MC36CH2OLM5 well suited to machine guarding applications requiring dependable switching and long service life.
The M8 connector provides a convenient detachable electrical connection for machine wiring and maintenance. Its compact housing makes the MC36CH2OLM5 particularly useful on hinged or sliding guards where installation space is limited and reliable safety-related position monitoring is required.

Reliable Non-Contact Safety Guard Monitoring
Magnetic safety sensors monitor the position of machine guards without requiring direct mechanical engagement between the sensor and actuator. When the guard moves away from its safe position, the change in magnetic actuation can be detected by the associated safety control circuit so that the machinery can respond according to the designed safety function.
The Carlo Gavazzi MC36CH2OLM5 is particularly suitable where compact dimensions, reduced mechanical wear and straightforward installation are important. Its 2NO switching arrangement and M8 connection enable integration into compatible machine safety systems while the non-contact design supports dependable operation over repeated guard movements.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machine guard monitoring.
- Hinged safety doors and access panels.
- Sliding machine guards.
- Packaging and production machinery.
- Material handling and conveyor equipment.
- Automated manufacturing cells.
- Machine safety and interlocking systems.
