Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ICS05S23F08A2NO Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi ICS05S23F08A2NO is a miniature M5 inductive proximity sensor designed for precise, non-contact detection of metallic targets in industrial machinery and automation systems. As part of the Carlo Gavazzi ICS series, it combines a compact short-body format with a rugged stainless steel housing and an NPN normally open (NO) output.
With a rated operating distance of 0.8 mm and a flush-mountable threaded sensing body, the ICS05S23F08A2NO is particularly suited to applications where installation space is restricted and accurate metal detection is required. Its miniature M5 construction makes it suitable for robotic equipment, small mechanisms, tooling systems and compact automated machinery.
The sensor operates from a 10–30 V DC supply, supports output currents up to 100 mA and offers a maximum switching frequency of 6 kHz for high-speed detection. A 2 m integral cable, IP67 protection and an operating temperature range of -25 to +70 °C provide dependable performance in industrial environments.

Compact High-Speed Metal Detection for Industrial Automation
Inductive proximity sensors detect metallic targets without physical contact by monitoring changes in an electromagnetic field at the sensing face. This contactless operating principle helps minimise mechanical wear while providing accurate and repeatable position or presence feedback for automated machinery and control systems.
The Carlo Gavazzi ICS05S23F08A2NO combines its miniature M5 housing with a 0.8 mm sensing distance and high 6 kHz switching frequency. These characteristics make it particularly useful for compact mechanisms, robotic positioning, tooling applications and other automated processes where both installation space and response speed are important.
