Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ICS30LN22PCM1-FB Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi ICS30LN22PCM1-FB is a robust M30 inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic targets in demanding industrial, automation and food-and-beverage applications. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi ICS30 washdown series, this long-body sensor combines an extended sensing range with AISI 316L stainless-steel construction and high environmental protection.
The ICS30LN22PCM1-FB provides an extended 22 mm rated sensing distance and is designed for non-flush / unshielded mounting. Its PNP normally-closed (NC) output enables integration with compatible PLC inputs and industrial control systems, while the M30 threaded cylindrical format provides secure installation on machinery, conveyors and automated production equipment.
Operating from a 10–36 V DC supply, the sensor supports an output current of up to 200 mA at 50 °C and an operating frequency of up to 1 kHz. Its M12 connector, FDA-certified PPS sensing face and IP67, IP68 and IP69K protection, together with ECOLAB approval, make the ICS30LN22PCM1-FB particularly well suited to wet, hygienic and high-pressure washdown environments.

Inductive proximity sensors detect metallic objects without requiring physical contact between the sensor and target. This contactless operating principle helps reduce mechanical wear while providing fast and repeatable detection for presence sensing, positioning, counting and end-of-travel monitoring throughout automated machinery and production systems.
The ICS30LN22PCM1-FB combines a substantial 22 mm sensing distance with rugged washdown construction, making it particularly useful where increased target clearance and environmental resistance are required. Its AISI 316L stainless-steel body and IP67, IP68 and IP69K protection provide a durable sensing solution for equipment exposed to moisture, intensive cleaning and demanding production conditions.
