Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi IA18ASN14DCM1 Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi IA18ASN14DCM1 is a compact M18 two-wire DC inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic objects in industrial machinery and automation systems. As part of the Carlo Gavazzi IA series, this short-body sensor combines an extended sensing range with a normally closed output and convenient M12 plug connection.
Using inductive sensing technology, the IA18ASN14DCM1 detects conductive metallic targets without physical contact, helping to reduce mechanical wear while providing repeatable switching in automated equipment. Its nickel-plated brass housing, non-flush sensing configuration and two-wire DC connection make it suitable for machine building, production equipment and industrial control applications.
With a nominal sensing distance of 14 mm, a 10–40 V DC operating voltage and a switching frequency of 400 Hz, the IA18ASN14DCM1 provides extended-range metal detection from an M18 cylindrical sensor. Its M12 connector, IP67 protection and operating temperature range of -25 to +70 °C support dependable installation in demanding industrial environments.

Extended-Range Metal Detection for Industrial Automation
Inductive proximity sensors detect metallic targets by generating an electromagnetic field at the sensing face and monitoring changes caused when conductive material enters that field. This contactless operating principle eliminates mechanical contact with the target, helping to minimise wear while providing repeatable position and presence detection in automated machinery.
The Carlo Gavazzi IA18ASN14DCM1 combines an extended 14 mm sensing distance with a two-wire DC normally closed output and compact M18 construction. Its nickel-plated brass housing, electrical protection, detachable M12 connection and IP67 enclosure rating make it a practical sensing solution for industrial automation, machine building and production equipment.
