Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ICS08L45N40M5NC Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi ICS08L45N40M5NC is a long-body M8 inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic targets in industrial machinery and automation systems. Its compact stainless steel threaded housing combines an extended 4 mm rated operating distance with a three-wire NPN normally closed (NC) output for integration with compatible PLC and machine-control inputs.
Designed for non-flush mounting, the ICS08L45N40M5NC achieves increased sensing range from its compact M8 format when installed with the appropriate clearance around the sensing face. Its long-body construction provides an extended threaded mounting section, making it suitable for machinery where installation space is restricted but greater target clearance is required.
The sensor operates from a 10–30 V DC supply, supports output currents up to 100 mA and provides a maximum switching frequency of 2 kHz. Its M8 plug connector, stainless steel housing, IP67 protection and operating temperature range of -25 to +80 °C provide a robust sensing solution for demanding industrial automation applications.

Extended-Range Metal Detection for Compact Industrial Machinery
Inductive proximity sensors detect metallic targets without physical contact by monitoring changes in an electromagnetic field generated at the sensing face. This contactless operating principle helps minimise mechanical wear while providing repeatable position, presence and component detection for automated machinery and industrial control systems.
The Carlo Gavazzi ICS08L45N40M5NC combines a compact M8 housing with an extended 4 mm sensing distance and a maximum switching frequency of 2 kHz. Its NPN normally closed output, non-flush sensing arrangement and detachable M8 connection make it particularly suitable for compact machinery, tooling systems, material handling equipment and automated production processes requiring increased target clearance.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery position and presence detection.
- Compact automated production equipment.
- Machine-tool and tooling position monitoring.
- Metal component detection and counting.
- Conveyor and material handling systems.
- Automated assembly machinery.
- End-position and travel monitoring.
- OEM machine building and factory automation systems.
