Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi MC36CH2ORM5 Safety Magnetic Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi MC36CH2ORM5 is a compact magnetic safety sensor designed for non-contact monitoring of hinged, sliding and removable machine guards in industrial safety applications. As part of the Carlo Gavazzi MC36C compact safety magnetic sensor series, this model features a right-hand sensing arrangement, 2NO dry reed contacts and an integrated M8 connector for convenient connection to compatible machine safety circuitry.
Designed for use with the corresponding Carlo Gavazzi MC36CM magnetic actuator, the MC36CH2ORM5 detects the position of movable guards without requiring mechanical contact between the sensor and actuator. This non-contact operating principle helps minimise mechanical wear while providing dependable guard position monitoring for automated machinery, production equipment and industrial safety systems.
The MC36CH2ORM5 provides a 5 mm switch-on distance and 15 mm switch-off distance, with a maximum switching voltage of 12/24 V AC/DC, maximum switching current of 250 mA and maximum switching power of 6 W. Its integrated M8 connector, compact rectangular housing, IP69K protection rating and -25 to +80 °C operating temperature range make it particularly suitable for demanding industrial installations.

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 is moved away from its protected position, the sensor contacts change state so that a compatible safety control system can initiate the required machine safety response. The non-contact sensing principle avoids the mechanical actuator wear associated with conventional electromechanical guard switches.
The Carlo Gavazzi MC36C series is designed for compact industrial safety installations where dependable operation and flexible mounting are important. When combined with suitable safety control equipment, the MC36CH2ORM5 can be used in guard-monitoring applications up to Category 4, PL e according to EN ISO 13849-1. Its M8 connection also allows compatible pre-wired connection leads to be used for convenient installation and servicing.
Typical Applications
- Machine safety guard monitoring.
- Hinged and sliding safety doors.
- Removable machine guards and protective covers.
- Packaging and production machinery.
- Conveyor and material handling systems.
- Automated manufacturing equipment.
- Industrial machine cells and safety enclosures.
