Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ICB12S30N08NOM1 Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi ICB12S30N08NOM1 is a compact M12 inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic targets in industrial machinery and automation systems. As part of the Carlo Gavazzi ICB12 series, it combines a short-body format with a durable nickel-plated brass threaded housing, making it particularly suitable for installations where mounting space is limited.
This sensor provides a rated operating distance of 8 mm and is designed for non-flush mounting. Its NPN normally open (NO) output provides straightforward integration with compatible PLC inputs and industrial control equipment, while the inductive sensing principle eliminates physical contact with the target for reliable operation in high-cycle machinery.
With a 10–36 V DC supply, maximum output current of 200 mA and maximum switching frequency of 2 kHz, the ICB12S30N08NOM1 delivers responsive detection for modern automation applications. Its M12 plug connection, short M12 × 1 threaded body, IP67 protection and operating temperature range of -25 to +70 °C make it well suited to conveyors, packaging equipment, assembly machinery and automated production systems.

Reliable Inductive Sensing for Industrial Machinery
Inductive proximity sensors such as the Carlo Gavazzi ICB12S30N08NOM1 detect metallic targets by generating an electromagnetic sensing field. When a suitable metal object enters the sensing zone, the sensor changes its solid-state output without requiring physical contact, providing repeatable position and presence feedback while reducing the mechanical wear associated with conventional limit switches.
The ICB12S30N08NOM1 combines a compact short-body M12 format with an extended 8 mm sensing distance and fast 2 kHz switching frequency. Its NPN normally open output and detachable M12 connection make it a practical choice for machine builders and automation engineers requiring reliable sensing with straightforward installation and sensor replacement.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machine position and presence detection.
- Conveyor and material handling systems.
- Metal component detection and counting.
- Packaging and production machinery.
- Automated assembly equipment.
- Machine movement and end-position monitoring.
- High-speed production and indexing applications.
- OEM machinery and PLC-based automation systems.
