Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ICB12LN08POM1 Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi ICB12LN08POM1 is a long-body M12 inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic targets in industrial machinery and automation systems. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi ICB12 series, it combines an extended sensing range with a robust nickel-plated brass threaded housing for dependable position, presence and movement detection.
The ICB12LN08POM1 provides an extended rated operating distance of 8 mm with a non-flush mounting configuration and a PNP normally open (NO) output. Its operating frequency of up to 2 kHz supports responsive detection of moving metallic components in automated production, conveying and machine-control applications.
Operating from a 10–36 V DC supply, the sensor supports an output current of up to 200 mA at 50 °C and uses an M12 disconnect connector for convenient installation and replacement. IP67 protection, yellow LED indication and integrated short-circuit, reverse-polarity and transient protection help provide dependable performance in demanding industrial environments.
