Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ICS05S23F15A2NC Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi ICS05S23F15A2NC is a compact M5 inductive proximity sensor designed for precise, non-contact detection of metallic objects in industrial automation and machinery applications. As part of the Carlo Gavazzi ICS05 miniature inductive sensor series, it combines an extended sensing distance with a short stainless steel housing for reliable detection where installation space is limited.
This sensor provides a rated operating distance of 1.5 mm and is designed for flush mounting, allowing it to be installed neatly within surrounding metal structures. Its NPN normally closed (NC) output provides dependable solid-state switching for compatible PLCs, controllers and industrial machine-control systems.
With a 10–30 V DC supply, maximum output current of 100 mA and maximum switching frequency of 4.5 kHz, the ICS05S23F15A2NC is well suited to fast and precise detection applications. Its stainless steel M5 housing, integrated 2 m cable and IP67 protection rating provide a durable miniature sensing solution for demanding industrial environments.

Precise Metal Detection for Compact Industrial Machinery
Inductive proximity sensors detect metallic targets using an electromagnetic sensing field, allowing components to be identified without physical contact between the sensor and target. This contactless operating principle minimises mechanical wear and provides repeatable detection for high-cycle machinery, automated equipment and precision positioning systems.
The ICS05S23F15A2NC combines a miniature M5 housing with a 1.5 mm sensing distance and switching frequency up to 4.5 kHz. These characteristics make it particularly suitable for machine builders and automation engineers requiring compact, fast and accurate metallic target detection in applications where conventional larger proximity sensors cannot easily be installed.
Typical Applications
- Compact industrial machinery and automation equipment.
- Precision metal component presence detection.
- Machine position and end-point sensing.
