Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi IBS04SF08A2NO Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi IBS04SF08A2NO is a miniature Ø4 inductive proximity sensor designed for precise non-contact detection of metallic targets in compact industrial automation equipment. Its short cylindrical body and robust stainless steel housing make it particularly suitable for machinery where installation space is limited.
The IBS04SF08A2NO provides a rated operating distance of 0.8 mm with flush mounting and an NPN normally open (NO) output. Its maximum switching frequency of 6 kHz enables rapid detection of moving metallic components in high-speed automation processes.
Operating from a 10–30 V DC supply, the sensor supports an output current of up to 100 mA and is supplied with an integral 2 m cable. IP67 protection, a stainless steel housing and integrated electrical protection provide dependable performance in demanding industrial applications.

Precision Metal Detection in Compact Machinery
Inductive proximity sensors detect metallic targets without requiring physical contact. This contactless sensing principle reduces mechanical wear and provides repeatable detection of component presence, position and movement in automated machinery.
The miniature Ø4 × 28.2 mm body of the IBS04SF08A2NO makes it particularly useful where conventional proximity sensors are too large. Its 0.8 mm rated operating distance, NPN normally open output and maximum 6 kHz switching frequency support precise, rapid detection in robotics, tooling equipment and compact production machinery.
Typical Applications
- Compact industrial automation machinery.
- Robotic position and movement sensing.
- Tool selection and tool-position monitoring.
- Micro-mechanism position detection.
- High-speed metallic component detection.
