Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ICS08S30N02NO Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi ICS08S30N02NO 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 three-wire DC sensor combines a short-body stainless-steel threaded housing with an extended sensing range for installations where mounting space is limited.
The ICS08S30N02NO features an NPN normally open (NO) output, a rated operating distance of 2 mm and a non-flush mounting configuration. Its extended sensing range makes it well suited to applications requiring dependable metal detection while retaining the compact dimensions of an M8 cylindrical sensor.
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. A factory-fitted 2 m PVC cable, stainless-steel housing, IP67 protection rating and 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 sensing field. When a suitable metal target enters this field, the sensor changes its switching state, providing reliable position, presence and counting feedback without the mechanical wear associated with conventional contact switches.
The ICS08S30N02NO is particularly suited to compact industrial machinery where additional sensing range and fast response are required. Its short M8 stainless-steel body helps minimise installation space, while the NPN normally open output provides straightforward integration with compatible PLCs, controllers and automated production equipment.
Typical Applications
- Industrial conveyors and material handling systems.
- Machine position and end-of-travel detection.
- Metal component presence sensing.
- Packaging and assembly machinery.
- Tool selection and textile machinery.
- Automated production, counting and positioning systems.
