Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi IA08BSN25NO Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi IA08BSN25NO is a compact M8 inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic targets in industrial automation and machine-control applications. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi IA series, it features a short cylindrical stainless steel housing for robust operation where installation space is limited.
This sensor provides a 3-wire DC NPN normally open (NO) output and operates from a 10–30 V DC supply, allowing straightforward integration with compatible PLC inputs and industrial controllers. Its 2.5 mm nominal sensing distance and unshielded configuration provide an extended detection range from a compact M8 sensor.
The IA08BSN25NO is supplied with a 2 m cable for direct connection to the control circuit. With a 2 kHz operating frequency, IP67 protection, stainless steel construction and an operating temperature range of -25 to +70 °C, it provides dependable proximity detection for automated machinery, production equipment and material-handling systems.

Reliable Non-Contact Detection for Industrial Automation
Inductive proximity sensors detect metallic objects by generating an electromagnetic field at the sensing face and monitoring changes caused when conductive material enters the detection zone. This contactless sensing principle provides rapid and repeatable switching without the mechanical wear associated with conventional contact-based position switches.
The Carlo Gavazzi IA08BSN25NO combines a compact M8 stainless steel body with an unshielded sensing arrangement to provide a 2.5 mm nominal sensing distance. Its NPN normally open output and pre-wired 2 m cable make it a practical solution for component detection, machine position monitoring and automated sequencing in compatible industrial control systems.
Typical Applications
- Metal component presence and position detection.
- Industrial automation and assembly machinery.
- PLC-controlled manufacturing equipment.
- Packaging and material-handling systems.
