Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi CL10 Cylindrical Magnet?
The Carlo Gavazzi CL10 is a compact cylindrical permanent magnet designed for non-contact actuation of compatible Carlo Gavazzi magnetic proximity sensors and switches. With a cylindrical body measuring approximately 9.3 mm in diameter × 32 mm long, it provides a convenient magnetic target for position, presence and movement detection in industrial automation applications.
The CL10 generates the magnetic field required to actuate a compatible magnetic sensor when positioned within its sensing range. This non-contact operating principle eliminates the need for physical contact between the magnet and sensing device, helping minimise mechanical wear in repetitive position-detection applications.
Its slim cylindrical construction makes the CL10 particularly useful where a compact magnetic actuator is required on moving machinery, mechanisms, doors or other equipment. As a permanent magnet, it requires no electrical supply and can be paired with a suitable Carlo Gavazzi magnetic sensor to create a simple and reliable non-contact sensing arrangement.

Reliable Non-Contact Actuation for Magnetic Sensors
Magnetic sensing systems use the field generated by a permanent magnet to operate a compatible sensor without direct mechanical contact. When the Carlo Gavazzi CL10 moves into the sensor's effective operating area, the magnetic field can be detected and used by the sensor to indicate the position or presence of the target.
Because the CL10 itself has no electrical connections or moving switching contacts, it provides a straightforward actuator for repetitive sensing applications. Its narrow cylindrical profile also makes it suitable for installations where available mounting space is limited.

- Industrial position detection.
- Machine and mechanism position sensing.
- Door and access-position monitoring.
- Presence detection in automated equipment.
- Moving-part and actuator monitoring.
