cl.4 – magnetic unit

Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi CL.4 Magnetic Unit?

The Carlo Gavazzi CL.4 is a rectangular magnetic unit designed as an actuator for compatible Carlo Gavazzi magnetic proximity sensors. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi CL series, it provides the permanent magnetic field required to operate a suitable magnetic sensor without mechanical contact between the actuator and sensing device.

The CL.4 measures 76 × 25 × 18 mm, making it the largest of the standard rectangular CL.1 to CL.4 magnetic units. Its rectangular form is suitable for mounting to moving machine components, doors and other mechanisms where reliable position or presence detection is required.

As a passive magnetic actuator, the CL.4 requires no electrical supply or wiring. When paired with a compatible Carlo Gavazzi magnetic sensor, it provides a simple solution for non-contact position detection in industrial automation, machinery and materials handling applications.

Reliable Magnetic Actuation for Non-Contact Position Detection

Magnetic proximity sensing allows the position of a component to be detected without requiring mechanical contact between the actuator and sensor. The Carlo Gavazzi CL.4 provides the permanent magnetic actuator for this type of system, causing a compatible magnetic sensor to switch when the two components reach the appropriate operating position.

With its 76 × 25 × 18 mm rectangular format, the CL.4 is suitable for mounting on machinery, moving assemblies and other equipment where a larger rectangular magnetic unit is required. The actual operating distance depends on the compatible sensor, orientation and installation arrangement, so the specifications of the selected sensor should be considered when designing the sensing system.

• Machine position detection.
• Door and panel position monitoring.
• Moving-component detection.
• Industrial automation machinery.
• Conveyor and materials handling equipment.
