Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ICB18S30F12PO Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi ICB18S30F12PO is a high-performance 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, this increased-range model combines a compact short-body design with a generous 12 mm rated operating distance for applications requiring greater target clearance.
The ICB18S30F12PO features a PNP normally open (NO) output and a quasi-flush mounting configuration. Operating from a broad 10–36 V DC supply, it integrates readily with compatible PLC inputs, machine controllers and industrial automation equipment.
Its rugged nickel-plated brass M18 housing, integral 2 m cable and IP67 protection rating provide dependable performance in demanding industrial environments. A maximum output current of 200 mA and maximum switching frequency of 1.5 kHz make the sensor suitable for responsive position and presence detection in automated production equipment.
