Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi MC36CH2OLM5L Safety Magnetic Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi MC36CH2OLM5L is a compact non-contact safety magnetic sensor with LED indication designed for monitoring guards, doors and access points on industrial machinery. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi MC36 safety sensor family, this version features a left-hand actuator arrangement, 2 normally open (2NO) reed contacts and an integrated M8 connector.
The MC36CH2OLM5L uses magnetic actuation to detect the position of a compatible coded magnet without direct mechanical contact. Its integrated LED provides convenient visual status indication, while the rectangular plastic housing and IP67 protection rating make the sensor suitable for demanding industrial machine-safety environments.
With a protected switch-on distance of 5 mm and switch-off distance of 15 mm, the sensor provides defined operating distances for guard monitoring. Its reed outputs support a maximum switching voltage of 12/24 V AC/DC, maximum switching current of 250 mA and maximum switching power of 6 W.
Key Advantages
- Compact non-contact magnetic safety sensor for machine guard monitoring.
- 2NO reed contacts for integration with compatible safety control circuits.
- Integrated LED status indication assists commissioning and diagnostics.
- Left-hand configuration for applications with the magnet positioned on the corresponding side.
- M8 connector provides convenient installation and replacement.
- IP67 protection supports operation in demanding industrial environments.

Reliable Non-Contact Safety Guard Monitoring
Magnetic safety sensors provide guard-position monitoring without requiring direct mechanical engagement between the sensor and actuator. This non-contact operating principle helps minimise mechanical wear and makes the MC36CH2OLM5L suitable for machinery with frequently operated hinged, sliding or removable guards.
The MC36CH2OLM5L combines 2NO reed outputs with LED indication and a compact M8-connected housing. When used with the appropriate coded magnet and compatible safety control equipment, it provides a practical solution for integrating guard monitoring into industrial machine safety systems.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machine guard monitoring.
- Hinged safety doors and access panels.
- Sliding and removable machine guards.
- Packaging and production machinery.
- Material handling and conveyor systems.
- Automated manufacturing cells.
- Machine safety and interlocking systems.
