Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ICS08S30F01NOM5 Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi ICS08S30F01NOM5 is a compact M8 inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic objects in industrial machinery and automation systems. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi ICS08 series, this miniature three-wire DC sensor combines a stainless-steel threaded housing with a short-body design, making it particularly suitable for installations where mounting space is limited.
The ICS08S30F01NOM5 features an NPN normally open (NO) output, 1 mm rated operating distance and flush-mountable sensing configuration. Flush installation allows the sensor to be embedded within surrounding metal, helping protect the sensing body while supporting compact machine and equipment designs.
Operating from a 10–36 V DC supply, the sensor supports an output current up to 200 mA and a maximum switching frequency of 2 kHz. Its M8 connector provides a convenient detachable electrical connection, while IP67 protection and an operating temperature range of -25 to +80 °C support dependable operation in demanding industrial environments.

Reliable Detection for Industrial Automation
Inductive proximity sensors detect metallic objects without physical contact by generating an electromagnetic field around the sensing face. When a suitable metal target enters this field, the sensor changes its switching output, providing reliable presence, position and counting feedback without the mechanical wear associated with conventional contact switches.
The ICS08S30F01NOM5 is designed for compact automation installations where accurate detection and rapid switching are required. Its flush-mountable M8 stainless-steel body can be integrated neatly into machinery, while the NPN normally open output provides straightforward connection to compatible PLCs, controllers and industrial control systems.
Typical Applications
- Industrial conveyors and material handling systems.
- Machine position and end-of-travel detection.
- Metal component presence sensing.
- Packaging and assembly machinery.
- Automated production and manufacturing equipment.
- Counting and positioning systems.
