Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ICB12L50N10PO Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi ICB12L50N10PO is a robust M12 inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic objects in industrial automation and machine-building applications. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi ICB series, this increased-range sensor combines a long cylindrical threaded body with a durable nickel-plated brass housing for dependable operation in demanding industrial environments.
The ICB12L50N10PO provides a rated operating distance of 10 mm and is designed for non-flush mounting. Its PNP normally open (NO) output enables straightforward integration with compatible PLC inputs, machine controllers and industrial automation systems for position monitoring, component detection, counting and machine sequencing.
Operating from a 10–36 V DC supply, the sensor supports a maximum output current of 200 mA and a maximum switching frequency of 2 kHz. A permanently connected 2 m cable simplifies wiring, while the IP67 protection rating helps protect the sensor against dust and water ingress in industrial installations.

Reliable Metal Detection for Industrial Automation
Inductive proximity sensors detect metallic targets without requiring physical contact. An electromagnetic sensing field responds when a suitable metal object enters the detection zone, providing repeatable solid-state switching without the mechanical wear associated with conventional contact-based position switches.
The Carlo Gavazzi ICB12L50N10PO combines a generous 10 mm sensing distance with a fast 2 kHz switching frequency, rugged metal construction and an industrial cable connection. These characteristics make it particularly suitable for repetitive position sensing and object detection in automated machinery, conveyors, assembly equipment and manufacturing systems.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machine position sensing.
- Metal component presence detection.
- Conveyor object detection and counting.
- Packaging and production machinery.
- Automated assembly equipment.
- Material handling and transfer systems.
- Machine sequencing and end-position monitoring.
- PLC-controlled factory automation systems.
