Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi MC88CM3 Safety Magnetic Actuator?
The Carlo Gavazzi MC88CM3 is a robust safety magnetic actuator designed for use with Carlo Gavazzi MC88C series safety magnetic sensors in industrial machine guarding applications. Its non-contact magnetic operating principle makes it suitable for monitoring hinged, sliding and removable guards where reliable safety switching and reduced mechanical wear are required.
As part of the Carlo Gavazzi MC88C safety magnetic sensor range, the MC88CM3 features a durable rectangular plastic housing and is engineered for demanding industrial environments. When correctly paired with a compatible MC88C safety sensor, it provides an assured switching distance (Sao) of 18 mm and an assured switch-off distance (Sar) of 30 mm.
The actuator has an IP69K degree of protection and an operating temperature range of -25 to +80 °C, making it particularly suitable for machinery exposed to dust, moisture and intensive cleaning conditions. Its generous sensing distances also provide useful installation tolerance when aligning guards and safety sensors.
Key Advantages

Reliable Non-Contact Guard Monitoring
Magnetic safety systems monitor the position of movable machine guards without requiring direct mechanical contact between the actuator and sensor. When the MC88CM3 is positioned within the specified operating distance of a compatible MC88C sensor, the magnetic field enables the sensor to detect the closed guard condition.
The non-contact arrangement reduces mechanical wear and provides useful tolerance for guard movement and alignment. With its IP69K-rated housing and wide operating temperature range, the MC88CM3 is well suited to safety gates, doors and protective covers used in demanding industrial machinery and automation systems.
