Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi MC88CH1O1CRT1 Safety Magnetic Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi MC88CH1O1CRT1 is a robust coded magnetic safety sensor designed for non-contact monitoring of hinged, sliding and removable guards on industrial machinery. As part of the Carlo Gavazzi MC88C safety magnetic sensor series, this model features a right-hand cable exit, 1NO + 1NC dry reed contact outputs and a convenient pigtail connection with an M12 connector.
Designed for machine safety applications, the MC88CH1O1CRT1 works with the corresponding MC88CM magnetic actuator to monitor whether a movable guard is correctly positioned. Its non-contact magnetic operating principle eliminates mechanical contact between the sensor and actuator, helping reduce wear and providing reliable operation where dust, dirt and alignment tolerances can make conventional mechanical safety switches less suitable.
The MC88CH1O1CRT1 features a 0.1 m PVC pigtail with M12 connector and provides a 18 mm switch-on distance and 30 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 dependable use in demanding industrial environments.

Reliable Non-Contact Machine Guard Monitoring
Coded magnetic safety sensors monitor movable machine guards by detecting a corresponding magnetic actuator without mechanical contact. When the guard is opened or displaced, the sensor contacts change state so that the associated safety control system can stop or disconnect hazardous machine movement. The non-contact design also helps provide a long service life because there is no mechanical actuator mechanism subject to repeated physical wear.
The Carlo Gavazzi MC88C series is particularly suited to industrial applications where generous operating tolerances are beneficial. The MC88CH1O1CRT1 uses the MC88CM3 actuator configuration to provide an 18 mm assured switching distance and 30 mm assured switch-off distance. When connected to appropriate safety logic, MC88C sensors can support safety gate systems up to Category 4, PL e according to EN ISO 13849-1.
