Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi CL50 Cylindrical Magnetic Unit?
The Carlo Gavazzi CL50 is a robust cylindrical permanent magnetic actuator designed for use with compatible Carlo Gavazzi magnetic proximity sensors. As part of the Carlo Gavazzi CL Series magnetic units, it provides the magnetic field required to actuate a suitable magnetic sensor without physical contact, making it a practical solution for industrial position, presence and movement detection.
The CL50 is a completely passive magnetic unit and therefore requires no electrical supply, wiring or signal connection. When the magnet moves within the operating range of a compatible magnetic sensor, its magnetic field actuates the sensing element. This contactless operating principle helps minimise mechanical wear and supports reliable repetitive detection in machinery and automation systems.
With a large 50 mm diameter and compact 10 mm thickness, the CL50 provides a substantial cylindrical magnetic target for compatible sensing applications. Its simple construction makes it suitable for mounting to moving machine components, doors, guards and other targets where dependable non-contact position detection is required.

Reliable Non-Contact Magnetic Actuation
Magnetic proximity sensing systems use a permanent magnet and a separate sensing element to detect the position or presence of an object without requiring direct mechanical contact. When the Carlo Gavazzi CL50 enters the operating range of a compatible magnetic sensor, its magnetic field actuates the sensor and causes the associated switching output to change state.
This contactless operating principle reduces mechanical interaction between the actuator and sensor, making magnetic sensing particularly useful for repetitive position-detection duties. The CL50 can be attached to a moving machine component, door, guard or other target while the associated sensor remains fixed, providing a simple and dependable method of monitoring movement and position.
