Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ICB30L50N22PAM1 Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi ICB30L50N22PAM1 is an extended-range 4-wire M30 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 model combines a robust long-body cylindrical housing with a substantial 22 mm rated sensing distance.
The ICB30L50N22PAM1 features PNP normally open + normally closed (NO+NC) outputs, providing both switching functions from a single 4-wire sensor. Its non-flush mounting configuration supports the extended sensing range, while the 10–36 V DC supply makes it suitable for integration with compatible PLC inputs and industrial machine control systems.
A durable nickel-plated brass M30 housing, M12 connector, maximum output current of 200 mA, 1 kHz switching frequency and IP67 protection provide dependable performance for demanding automation applications. The long-body construction incorporates an M30 × 1.5 threaded mounting section for secure mechanical installation.

Reliable Extended-Range Metal Detection for Industrial Machinery
Inductive proximity sensors such as the Carlo Gavazzi ICB30L50N22PAM1 detect metallic objects without physical contact, providing repeatable position and presence feedback while avoiding the mechanical wear associated with contact-operated switches. Its 22 mm sensing distance is particularly useful where additional clearance between the sensor face and moving target is required.
The 4-wire PNP configuration provides complementary NO and NC switching functions, offering flexibility when integrating the sensor into industrial control logic. Combined with its M12 connector, long M30 housing and integrated electrical protection, the ICB30L50N22PAM1 provides a practical solution for machine building, automated manufacturing and material handling systems.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery position and presence sensing.
- Conveyor and material handling equipment.
- Metal component and workpiece detection.
- Packaging and production machinery.
- Automated assembly systems.
- Machine tools and manufacturing equipment.
- PLC-based industrial automation systems.
- Applications requiring extended metallic target detection distance.
