Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi MC36CH1O1CLA2L Safety Magnetic Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi MC36CH1O1CLA2L is a compact coded magnetic safety sensor with LED indication designed for non-contact monitoring of guards, doors and protective covers on industrial machinery. As part of the Carlo Gavazzi MC36C compact safety magnetic sensor series, this model combines 1NO + 1NC dry reed contacts with a left-hand cable exit and integrated LED indication for dependable machine safety monitoring.
Designed for use with the corresponding MC36CM coded magnetic actuator, the MC36CH1O1CLA2L detects the position of movable machine guards without requiring physical contact between the sensor and actuator. This non-contact operating principle helps minimise mechanical wear and makes the sensor particularly suitable for guards and access points that are opened and closed frequently.
The sensor is supplied with an integrated 2 m PVC cable and provides a 5 mm switch-on distance and 15 mm switch-off distance. Its reed contacts support a maximum switching voltage of 12/24 V AC/DC, maximum switching current of 250 mA and maximum switching power of 6 W. An IP67 protection rating and operating temperature range of -25 to +80 °C support reliable use in demanding industrial environments.

Reliable Non-Contact Machine Guard Monitoring
Magnetic safety sensors monitor movable machine guards by detecting the position of a corresponding magnetic actuator. When the guard moves away from its safe position, the sensor contacts change state so that the associated safety control system can initiate the required machine safety response. Because sensing is non-contact, there is no mechanical actuator mechanism to wear through repeated guard operation.
The Carlo Gavazzi MC36C series provides a compact solution for machine safety installations where space, environmental protection and straightforward integration are important. The MC36CH1O1CLA2L combines its 1NO + 1NC contact arrangement with LED indication and is designed to operate with the MC36CM coded magnetic actuator, making it suitable for hinged doors, sliding guards, access panels and protective covers.
Typical Applications
- Machine safety guard monitoring.
- Hinged and sliding safety doors.
- Protective machine covers and access panels.
- Packaging and production machinery.
- Conveyor and material handling systems.
- Automated manufacturing equipment.
- Industrial machine cells and enclosures.
- OEM machine-building safety systems.
