Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ICB12L50F06PO Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi ICB12L50F06PO is a compact and robust inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic objects in industrial machinery and automation systems. As part of the Carlo Gavazzi ICB12 series, it combines an M12 cylindrical threaded housing with an increased sensing range, making it suitable for demanding position, presence and object detection applications.
This sensor provides a PNP normally open (NO) output and a rated operating distance of 6 mm. Its quasi-flush mounting configuration provides an increased sensing distance while retaining a compact M12 format, while the integrated 2 m cable provides a straightforward permanent connection to PLCs, machine controllers and industrial control systems.
With a 10–36 V DC supply voltage, maximum output current of 200 mA and maximum switching frequency of 2 kHz, the ICB12L50F06PO is suitable for rapid and repetitive detection tasks. Its long-body nickel-plated brass construction, IP67 protection rating and operating temperature range of -25 to +70 °C support dependable operation in demanding industrial environments.

Reliable Inductive Detection for Industrial Automation
Inductive proximity sensors such as the Carlo Gavazzi ICB12L50F06PO detect metallic targets without physical contact by generating an electromagnetic field at the sensing face. When a suitable metal target enters the sensing range, the sensor changes its output state, enabling reliable position, presence and movement detection without the mechanical wear associated with contact-based switches.
The ICB12 series is designed for industrial automation applications requiring compact dimensions, reliable switching and increased sensing performance. The ICB12L50F06PO combines a 6 mm sensing distance with fast 2 kHz switching, an integrated 2 m cable and rugged IP67 construction, making it well suited to integration with PLC-controlled machinery and automated production equipment.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machine position and presence detection.
- Conveyor and material handling systems.
- Packaging and production machinery.
- Automated assembly equipment.
- Metal component detection and counting.
- PLC-controlled industrial automation systems.
