Compact safety magnetic sensor from Carlo Gavazzi
27 March 2020
Carlo Gavazzi has launched a compact family of non-contact magnetic sensors suitable for safety gate applications where space can be limited.

At just 36x36x13mm, the MC36C series of coded safety magnetic sensors can be used to monitor the position of hinged, sliding or removable guards in industrial applications. Suitable for damp, dirty and dusty environments, they offer large tolerances for when mechanical features may change over time, due to the wide actuation range.
The sensors are available with left or right exit and come complete with an integrated 2m PVC cable or M8 connection and optional LED indicator for easy fault finding. Housing is manufactured in a reinforced polymeric casing (PBT) and offers IP67 protection, whilst operation temperature can range from -25°C to +80°C.
Carlo Gavazzi safety sensors stop or disconnect dangerous motions if the mobile protections are opened or displaced. The MC36C range is suited to safety gate applications up to safety category 4, PLe according to EN ISO 13849-1 with suitable logic safety module.
The MC36C compact safety magnetic range fulfils all European and North American regulations for safety gates and is CE and cULs approved.
