Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ICS30SN15POM1-FB Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi ICS30SN15POM1-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 short-body sensor combines a generous sensing range with rugged stainless-steel construction and high environmental protection.
The ICS30SN15POM1-FB provides a 15 mm rated sensing distance and is designed for non-flush / unshielded mounting. Its PNP normally-open (NO) output enables straightforward integration with compatible PLC inputs and industrial control systems, while the compact M30 threaded cylindrical format is well suited to machinery where installation depth is limited.
Operating from a 10–36 V DC supply, the sensor supports an output current of up to 200 mA at specified temperatures and an operating frequency of up to 1 kHz. Its AISI 316L stainless-steel body, M12 connector and IP67, IP68 and IP69K protection, together with ECOLAB approval, make the ICS30SN15POM1-FB particularly suitable for wet, hygienic and high-pressure washdown environments.
