Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi IBS04SF08A2NC Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi IBS04SF08A2NC is a miniature Ø4 inductive proximity sensor designed for precise non-contact detection of metallic targets in compact industrial automation equipment. Its short cylindrical body and durable stainless steel housing make it particularly suitable for machinery where installation space is limited.
The IBS04SF08A2NC provides a rated operating distance of 0.8 mm with flush mounting and an NPN normally closed (NC) output. Its high switching frequency of up to 6 kHz supports rapid detection of moving metallic components in high-speed machine processes.
Operating from a 10–30 V DC supply, the sensor supports an output current of up to 100 mA and is supplied with an integral 2 m cable. IP67 protection, a stainless steel housing and integrated electrical protection provide dependable performance in demanding industrial applications.

Precision Metal Detection in Compact Machinery
Inductive proximity sensors detect conductive metallic targets without requiring mechanical contact. This contactless sensing principle reduces wear while enabling repeatable detection of component presence, position and movement in automated machinery.
The miniature Ø4 × 28.2 mm body of the IBS04SF08A2NC makes it especially useful where conventional proximity sensors are too large. Its 0.8 mm sensing distance and high 6 kHz switching frequency support precise, rapid detection in applications such as robotic mechanisms, tooling equipment and compact production machinery.
Typical Applications
- Compact industrial automation machinery.
- Robotic position and movement sensing.
- Tool selection and tool-position monitoring.
- Micro-mechanism position detection.
- High-speed metallic component detection.
- Automated assembly and production equipment.
- Machine position and presence sensing.
