Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ICB30L50N22A2IO Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi ICB30L50N22A2IO is an advanced M30 inductive proximity sensor with IO-Link designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic objects in industrial machinery and automation systems. As part of the Carlo Gavazzi ICB IO-Link inductive sensor series, it combines an extended sensing range, configurable switching functions and intelligent communication capabilities within a robust long-body metal housing.
This sensor provides a maximum rated operating distance of 22 mm with non-flush mounting. Through IO-Link, the sensing distance can be configured to 33%, 50%, 75% or 100% of the maximum range, while the electrical output can be configured as PNP, NPN or push-pull and as normally open or normally closed. This flexibility allows one sensor to be adapted to a wide range of machine-control requirements.
With a 10–36 V DC supply, maximum output current of 200 mA and switching frequency up to 1 kHz, the ICB30L50N22A2IO provides responsive sensing for position, presence and rotational speed monitoring. Its nickel-plated brass M30 housing, integrated 2 m cable and IP67 protection rating support dependable operation in demanding industrial environments.
