Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ICB18L50F12PO Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi ICB18L50F12PO is a robust M18 inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic targets in industrial machinery and automation systems. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi ICB series, it combines an increased sensing distance, long threaded body and durable nickel-plated brass housing for dependable industrial sensing.
The ICB18L50F12PO provides a PNP normally open (NO) output with a rated operating distance of 12 mm. Carlo Gavazzi specifies this model for quasi-flush mounting, providing increased sensing range while supporting practical integration into metal machine structures.
Operating from 10–36 V DC, the sensor supports a maximum output current of 200 mA and a maximum switching frequency of 1.5 kHz. Its long M18 cylindrical housing, pre-wired 2 m cable, operating temperature range of -25 to +70 °C and IP67 protection make it well suited to demanding industrial automation applications.
