Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi MC88CH2ORA2 Safety Magnetic Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi MC88CH2ORA2 is a robust non-contact safety magnetic sensor designed for monitoring the position of hinged, sliding and removable guards on industrial machinery. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi MC88C safety sensor series, this model features a right-exit configuration, 2 normally open (2NO) dry reed contacts and a factory-fitted 2 m PVC cable.
The MC88CH2ORA2 uses magnetic actuation to detect the position of a compatible actuator without requiring direct mechanical engagement. This non-contact operating principle helps minimise mechanical wear and makes the sensor particularly suitable for machine guards that are opened and closed frequently. The rectangular plastic housing provides a compact installation format for industrial safety applications.
The sensor provides a protected switch-on distance of 18 mm and protected switch-off distance of 30 mm. Its reed contacts support a maximum switching voltage of 12/24 V AC/DC, maximum switching current of 250 mA and maximum switching power of 6 W, while an IP67 protection rating supports operation in demanding industrial environments.
Key Advantages
- Non-contact magnetic safety sensing reduces mechanical wear.
- 2NO dry reed contacts for integration with compatible safety control equipment.
- Right-exit configuration supports corresponding machine guard installation layouts.
- Factory-fitted 2 m PVC cable provides convenient hard-wired installation.
- 18 mm switch-on and 30 mm switch-off distances provide practical operating tolerance.
- IP67 protection supports reliable use in industrial environments.

Reliable Non-Contact Safety Guard Monitoring
Magnetic safety sensors provide a practical method of monitoring movable machine guards without the mechanical engagement required by traditional electromechanical safety switches. When the guard moves away from its protected position, the resulting change in magnetic actuation changes the reed contact state so that compatible safety control equipment can respond according to the designed machine safety function.
The Carlo Gavazzi MC88CH2ORA2 combines 2NO switching, a right-exit cable arrangement and a robust 2 m PVC cable in a compact rectangular housing. Compatible MC88C actuators are available with different operating distances, allowing the sensor system to be selected to suit the mechanical arrangement of the guard application.
