Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ICB12S30F06NO Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi ICB12S30F06NO is a compact M12 inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic objects in industrial machinery and automation systems. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi ICB12 series, it combines an increased sensing range with a short cylindrical body, making it well suited to installations where compact dimensions and dependable metal detection are required.
This sensor provides an NPN normally open (NO) output and a rated operating distance of 6 mm. Its quasi-flush mounting configuration provides increased sensing range while retaining a compact M12 format, and the integrated 2 m cable enables straightforward connection to PLCs, machine controllers and industrial automation equipment.
With a rated operating voltage of 10–36 V DC, maximum output current of 200 mA and maximum switching frequency of 2 kHz, the ICB12S30F06NO supports fast and repetitive industrial detection tasks. Its nickel-plated brass housing, IP67 protection rating and operating temperature range of -25 to +70 °C provide dependable performance in demanding industrial environments.

Reliable Inductive Detection for Industrial Automation
Inductive proximity sensors such as the Carlo Gavazzi ICB12S30F06NO detect metallic targets without physical contact by generating an electromagnetic field at the sensing face. When a suitable metal object enters the sensing range, the sensor changes its output state, enabling reliable position, presence and movement detection without the mechanical wear associated with conventional contact switches.
The ICB12 increased-range series is designed for industrial automation applications requiring compact dimensions together with greater sensing clearance. The ICB12S30F06NO combines a 6 mm sensing distance, quasi-flush installation, short M12 body and integrated 2 m cable, making it well suited to PLC-controlled machinery, automated production equipment and material handling systems.
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.
- Machine tool and manufacturing equipment.
- PLC-controlled industrial automation systems.
