Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ICB12S30F06PCM1 Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi ICB12S30F06PCM1 is a compact M12 inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic targets in industrial automation and machine-building applications. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi ICB series, this increased-range sensor combines a short cylindrical threaded body with durable nickel-plated brass construction for dependable industrial sensing.
The ICB12S30F06PCM1 provides a rated operating distance of 6 mm and uses a quasi-flush mounting configuration. Its PNP normally closed (NC) output enables integration with compatible PLC inputs, machine controllers and automation systems for position monitoring, metal component detection 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. The short connector version measures M12 × 51 mm with an M12 × 1 × 30 mm threaded section, while its detachable M12 connection and IP67 protection support convenient installation and dependable industrial operation.

Reliable Increased-Range Metal Detection for Industrial Automation
Inductive proximity sensors detect metallic targets without requiring physical contact. An electromagnetic sensing field responds when a suitable conductive target enters the sensing zone, allowing the solid-state output to change state and provide repeatable position or presence information without the mechanical wear associated with conventional contact switches.
The Carlo Gavazzi ICB12S30F06PCM1 combines a compact M12 short body with an increased 6 mm sensing distance, quasi-flush installation and fast PNP switching. Its detachable M12 connector also makes installation and replacement straightforward, providing a practical sensing solution for automated machinery where increased detection range and compact dimensions are required.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machine position sensing.
- Metal component presence detection.
- Machine end-position monitoring.
- Conveyor object detection and counting.
- Packaging and production machinery.
- Automated assembly equipment.
- Material handling and transfer systems.
- PLC-controlled factory automation systems.
