Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ICS05S23F08A2PO Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi ICS05S23F08A2PO is a compact M5 inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic objects in industrial machinery and automation systems. As part of the Carlo Gavazzi ICS series, this short-body sensor combines a stainless-steel threaded housing with a precise 0.8 mm rated sensing distance, making it particularly suitable for installations where mounting space is limited.
The ICS05S23F08A2PO features a PNP normally open (NO) output and operates from a 10–30 V DC supply. Its flush-mountable construction allows the sensing face to be installed level with surrounding metal, helping simplify integration into machine components, tooling and compact sensor assemblies.
With a 2 m cable connection, maximum output current of 100 mA, switching frequency up to 6 kHz and an IP67 enclosure rating, the ICS05S23F08A2PO provides fast and dependable object detection for demanding industrial applications. Its M5 threaded stainless-steel body offers a robust solution for position sensing, presence detection and machine automation.

Reliable Inductive Sensing for Industrial Automation
Inductive proximity sensors detect metallic targets without requiring physical contact between the sensor and moving machine components. This non-contact operating principle helps minimise mechanical wear while enabling reliable position, presence and movement detection in automated equipment.
The compact M5 format of the Carlo Gavazzi ICS05S23F08A2PO makes it particularly useful where conventional proximity sensors are too large. Its short stainless-steel threaded body, flush installation and fast switching capability allow it to be incorporated into compact machinery, tooling, handling equipment and high-speed automation systems.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machine position sensing.
- Metal component presence detection.
- Automated assembly and production equipment.
- Packaging and handling machinery.
- Compact machine tooling and fixtures.
- Conveyor and material handling systems.
- Counting and high-speed detection applications.
- OEM machinery and industrial automation systems.
