Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ICB30L50N40NCM1 Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi ICB30L50N40NCM1 is a robust M30 inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic objects in industrial machinery and automation systems. As part of the Carlo Gavazzi ICB30 series, it combines an increased sensing range with a durable nickel-plated brass housing, long-body construction and convenient M12 connection for demanding industrial installations.
This sensor provides a substantial 40 mm rated sensing distance with a 3-wire NPN normally closed output. Its non-flush mounting configuration enables extended metal detection at greater target distances, making it particularly suitable for machine positioning, component detection, conveyor systems and automated production equipment where additional sensing clearance is required.
With a 10–36 V DC operating supply, maximum output current of 200 mA and maximum switching frequency of 100 Hz, the ICB30L50N40NCM1 provides dependable switching for industrial control systems. Its M12 plug connector, 87 mm overall length, nickel-plated brass M30 housing and IP67 protection rating provide a durable and service-friendly sensing solution for factory automation and machine building.
