Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi CL1 Rectangular Magnet?
The Carlo Gavazzi CL1 is a compact rectangular permanent magnet designed as an actuator for compatible Carlo Gavazzi magnetic proximity sensors and switches. With a compact body measuring approximately 14 × 25 mm, it provides a simple non-contact actuation solution for position detection, presence sensing and automation applications.
The CL1 works by providing the magnetic field required to actuate a compatible magnetic sensor when the magnet enters its sensing area. Because physical contact between the magnet and sensor is not required, the arrangement is well suited to applications where reliable switching with minimal mechanical wear is desirable.
Its compact rectangular format allows the CL1 to be installed on moving machine parts, doors, guards and mechanisms where space is limited. Used together with a suitable Carlo Gavazzi magnetic sensor, it provides a straightforward solution for industrial position and presence detection.

Reliable Non-Contact Actuation for Magnetic Sensors
Magnetic proximity sensing systems use a permanent magnet to operate a compatible sensor without requiring direct physical contact between the two components. As the CL1 approaches the sensor, its magnetic field enables the sensing device to detect the target position and change its output accordingly.
This non-contact principle can reduce mechanical wear compared with conventional mechanically operated position switches. The compact Carlo Gavazzi CL1 is therefore suitable for straightforward position and presence detection on machinery, moving assemblies and other automated equipment fitted with compatible magnetic sensors.
