MC36CH1O1CLA2 – SAFETY MAGNETIC SENSOR LEFT 1NO+1NC CABLE

Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi MC36CH1O1CLA2 Safety Magnetic Sensor?

The Carlo Gavazzi MC36CH1O1CLA2 is a compact coded magnetic safety sensor designed for monitoring guards, doors, covers and other movable machine protection in industrial safety applications. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi MC36C safety magnetic sensor series, this model features a rectangular plastic housing, left-hand cable exit and 1NO + 1NC reed contact outputs for integration into compatible machine safety circuits.

Designed for non-contact safety monitoring, the MC36CH1O1CLA2 operates with the corresponding magnetic actuator to detect whether a machine guard is correctly positioned. The non-contact operating principle helps reduce mechanical wear compared with conventional mechanically actuated switches, making the sensor well suited to applications requiring frequent guard opening and closing.

The MC36CH1O1CLA2 is supplied with a 2 m PVC cable and provides a 5 mm switch-on distance and 15 mm switch-off distance. Its reed contacts support a maximum switching voltage of 12/24 V AC/DC, a maximum switching current of 250 mA and a maximum switching power of 6 W. With an IP67 protection rating and operating temperature range of -25 to +80 °C, it is designed for dependable operation in demanding industrial environments.

Reliable Non-Contact Machine Guard Monitoring

Magnetic safety sensors provide non-contact monitoring of movable machine guards by detecting a corresponding magnetic actuator. When the guard is moved away from its safe position, the change in the sensor's contact state can be used by the associated safety control system to initiate the required machine safety response.

The Carlo Gavazzi MC36C series is designed for industrial safety applications where compact dimensions, reliable non-contact operation and resistance to demanding environmental conditions are important. The MC36CH1O1CLA2 works with the corresponding MC36CM magnetic actuator, providing a practical solution for monitoring access doors, hinged guards, sliding guards and protective covers on automated machinery.

Typical Applications

• Machine safety guard monitoring.
• Hinged and sliding safety doors.
• Protective machine covers and access panels.
• Packaging and production machinery.
• Conveyor and material handling systems.
• Automated manufacturing equipment.
• Industrial machine cells and enclosures.
• OEM machine-building safety systems.
