Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ICB18S30N14NO Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi ICB18S30N14NO is a compact and reliable M18 inductive proximity sensor designed for non-contact detection of metallic objects in industrial automation and machinery applications. As part of the Carlo Gavazzi ICB inductive sensor series, it combines an extended sensing range, robust metal construction and fast solid-state switching for dependable position and presence detection.
This sensor features a 14 mm rated operating distance with non-flush mounting, allowing metallic targets to be detected without physical contact. Its NPN normally open output is suitable for integration with compatible PLC inputs, controllers and industrial automation equipment, while the short-body design helps simplify installation where mounting space is limited.
With a 10–36 V DC supply, maximum output current of 200 mA and switching frequency up to 1.5 kHz, the ICB18S30N14NO provides responsive operation for machinery, conveyors, production equipment and automated handling systems. The nickel-plated brass M18 threaded housing and IP67 protection rating support reliable operation in demanding industrial environments.

Reliable Object Detection for Industrial Automation
Inductive proximity sensors detect metallic objects by generating an electromagnetic field at the sensing face and monitoring changes caused by a metal target entering that field. Because no physical contact is required, they offer high reliability with minimal mechanical wear compared with conventional mechanical switches.
The ICB18S30N14NO is designed for industrial machine builders and automation engineers who require fast, repeatable metal detection. Its extended sensing distance, NPN switching output and rugged M18 housing make it suitable for monitoring component position, machine movement and material presence across automated production systems.
Typical Applications
- Conveyor and material handling systems.
- Machine position and end-point detection.
- Metal component presence detection.
- Packaging and production machinery.
- Automated assembly equipment.
