Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi MC36CH1O1CRA2 Safety Magnetic Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi MC36CH1O1CRA2 is a compact non-contact safety magnetic sensor designed for monitoring guards, doors, covers and other movable machine protection systems. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi MC36C series, it uses magnetic actuation and dry reed contacts to provide reliable safety-related position monitoring without requiring mechanical contact between the sensor and actuator.
This model features a right-hand actuator orientation and provides 1NO + 1NC reed contacts, allowing complementary switching signals to be used within compatible safety circuits. The sensor has a protected switch-on distance of 5 mm and a protected switch-off distance of 15 mm, providing defined operating characteristics for guard monitoring applications.
The MC36CH1O1CRA2 is supplied with an integral 2 m cable exiting from the right side of its compact rectangular plastic housing. With a maximum switching voltage of 12/24 V AC/DC, maximum switching current of 250 mA, maximum switching power of 6 W and IP67 protection, it is designed for dependable operation in industrial machinery and automation environments.
Key Advantages

Non-Contact Guard Monitoring for Machine Safety
Magnetic safety sensors provide non-contact monitoring of movable guards by detecting a coded or matched magnetic actuator positioned near the sensor. Because there is no mechanical actuator entering the sensor housing, the arrangement avoids the mechanical wear associated with conventional tongue-operated safety switches and can provide a compact solution for frequently operated guards.
The MC36CH1O1CRA2 is designed for use with the Carlo Gavazzi MC36CM magnetic actuator. Its 1NO + 1NC reed contact arrangement can be integrated with compatible safety monitoring equipment to supervise the position of machine guards, access doors and protective covers as part of an appropriately designed safety control system.
Typical Applications
- Machine guard position monitoring.
- Safety doors and access panels.
- Protective covers and machine enclosures.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Automated assembly equipment.
- Conveyor and material handling machinery.
- Industrial machine safety systems.
