Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi MC88CH2ORT1 Safety Magnetic Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi MC88CH2ORT1 is a robust magnetic safety sensor designed for non-contact monitoring of hinged, sliding and removable machine guards in industrial safety applications. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi MC88C safety magnetic sensor series, this model features a right-hand exit, 2NO dry reed contact outputs and a short PVC pigtail terminating in an M12 connector for convenient connection to compatible machine safety systems.
The MC88CH2ORT1 uses magnetic sensing to monitor the position of a corresponding MC88C actuator without requiring mechanical contact between the sensor and actuator. When a protected guard is opened or displaced, the sensor contacts change state for evaluation by the associated safety control equipment. The non-contact operating principle helps minimise mechanical wear and supports dependable operation on frequently accessed machine guards.
This model is supplied with 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. With an IP67 protection rating and operating temperature range of -25 to +80 °C, the MC88CH2ORT1 is well suited to demanding industrial machinery and automation environments.

Flexible Non-Contact Machine Guard Monitoring
Magnetic safety sensors provide non-contact monitoring of movable guards by detecting a corresponding magnetic actuator. When a machine guard moves away from its protected position, the safety sensor contacts change state for evaluation by compatible safety control equipment. The absence of a mechanically operated actuator helps reduce wear and makes magnetic sensing particularly useful for frequently operated doors, guards and access panels.
The Carlo Gavazzi MC88C platform supports several actuator options to accommodate different operating distances. The MC88CM1 provides Sao/Sar distances of 5/15 mm, the MC88CM2 provides 8/18 mm, and the MC88CM3 provides 18/30 mm. For applications requiring the stated 18 mm switch-on and 30 mm switch-off distances, the MC88CM3 provides the corresponding actuator configuration.
