Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi MC88CH2OLM5 Safety Magnetic Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi MC88CH2OLM5 is an MC88C series safety magnetic sensor designed for non-contact monitoring of guards, doors and other movable protective equipment on industrial machinery. It features a rectangular plastic housing, left-exit configuration and 2NO dry reed contacts for integration with compatible machine-safety control systems.
This model incorporates an M8 integrated connector, providing a compact and convenient connection arrangement for installation and servicing. The MC88CH2OLM5 has a specified 18 mm switch-on distance and 30 mm switch-off distance, supporting practical non-contact guard-position detection when correctly paired and aligned with a suitable MC88C magnetic actuator.
Designed for demanding industrial environments, the MC88CH2OLM5 provides IP69K protection and operates across a temperature range of -25 to +80 °C. Its reed outputs support a maximum switching voltage of 12/24 V AC/DC, maximum switching current of 250 mA and maximum switching power of 6 W.
Key Advantages
- Non-contact magnetic guard monitoring helps minimise mechanical wear during repeated operation.
- 2NO dry reed contacts provide dual normally open switching outputs for compatible safety circuitry.
- Left-exit configuration provides a defined installation arrangement for machinery and guards.
- Integrated M8 connector supports straightforward installation, servicing and replacement.
- 18 mm switch-on distance provides practical tolerance for sensor-to-actuator positioning.
- IP69K protection supports installation in demanding industrial environments.

Reliable Non-Contact Safety Guard Monitoring
The Carlo Gavazzi MC88CH2OLM5 uses magnetic actuation to monitor movable machine guards without requiring direct mechanical contact between the sensor and actuator. When a suitable magnetic actuator enters or leaves the specified operating region, the sensor's two normally open dry reed contacts change state, allowing compatible safety circuitry to monitor guard position.
The MC88C family supports the MC88CM1, MC88CM2 and MC88CM3 magnetic actuators for different operating-distance requirements. The 18 mm switch-on and 30 mm switch-off specification corresponds to the longer-distance MC88C configuration, while the integrated M8 connector provides a convenient field connection for machine installation and maintenance.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machine safety guard monitoring.
- Hinged safety doors and access panels.
- Sliding machine guards.
- Removable protective guards and covers.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Automated production and assembly equipment.
- Safety-related non-contact position monitoring systems.
