Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi MC88CH1O1CLT1 Safety Magnetic Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi MC88CH1O1CLT1 is an MC88C series safety magnetic sensor designed for non-contact monitoring of hinged, sliding and removable guards on industrial machinery. It features a rectangular plastic housing, left-exit configuration and 1NO + 1NC dry reed contacts for integration with compatible machine-safety control systems.
This pigtail version is supplied with a 0.1 m PVC cable and M12 connector, combining a short flexible cable section with convenient detachable field connectivity. The MC88CH1O1CLT1 has a specified 18 mm switch-on distance and 30 mm switch-off distance when correctly aligned with the corresponding MC88CM3 magnetic actuator.
Designed for industrial safety applications, the sensor supports a maximum switching voltage of 12/24 V AC/DC, maximum switching current of 250 mA and maximum switching power of 6 W. An operating temperature range of -25 to +80 °C and IP67 protection make it suitable for demanding machine environments.
Key Advantages
- Non-contact magnetic guard detection helps minimise mechanical wear during repeated operation.
- 1NO + 1NC reed contacts provide complementary switching outputs for compatible safety circuitry.
- Left-exit configuration provides a defined installation arrangement for machine guards.
- 0.1 m PVC pigtail with M12 connector combines flexible cable routing with convenient connection.
- 18 mm switch-on distance supports practical sensor-to-actuator alignment.
- IP67 protection supports operation in demanding industrial environments.

Non-Contact Safety Guard Monitoring with M12 Pigtail Connectivity
The Carlo Gavazzi MC88CH1O1CLT1 detects a compatible coded magnetic actuator without requiring physical contact between the sensor and moving guard. When the actuator moves into or away from the specified operating region, the 1NO + 1NC reed contacts change state so that compatible safety circuitry can monitor the position of the protective guard.
For this model, the MC88C selection data identifies the MC88CM3 actuator, providing a specified switch-on distance of 18 mm and switch-off distance of 30 mm when correctly aligned. The short 0.1 m PVC pigtail and M12 connector provide a practical connection arrangement for installation and servicing on industrial machinery.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machine safety guard monitoring.
- Hinged safety doors and access panels.
- Sliding machine guards.
- Removable protective guards and covers.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Automated production and assembly equipment.
- Safety-related non-contact position monitoring systems.
