Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ICB12S30N10NC Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi ICB12S30N10NC is a compact M12 inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic targets in industrial automation and machine-building applications. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi ICB series, this extended-range sensor combines a short cylindrical threaded barrel with a robust nickel-plated brass housing for dependable operation in industrial machinery.
The ICB12S30N10NC provides a rated operating distance of 10 mm and is designed for non-flush mounting. Its NPN normally closed (NC), 3-wire DC output provides a practical interface for compatible PLC inputs, machine controllers and automation systems used for position monitoring, metal component detection and machine sequencing.
Operating from a 10–36 V DC supply, the sensor supports an output current of up to 200 mA and fast solid-state switching for responsive industrial detection. An integral 2 m cable provides direct wiring, while the compact M12 construction and IP67 protection rating support installation in demanding production and automation environments.

Reliable Extended-Range Metal Detection for Industrial Automation
Inductive proximity sensors detect metallic objects without requiring physical contact. An electromagnetic sensing field responds when a suitable conductive target enters the detection zone, allowing the solid-state output to change state and provide repeatable position or presence information without the mechanical wear associated with conventional contact switches.
The Carlo Gavazzi ICB12S30N10NC combines a compact M12 short-body format with an extended 10 mm sensing distance, non-flush mounting and an NPN normally closed output. This combination makes it well suited to automated machinery where increased metal-detection range, compact installation and dependable repetitive operation are required.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machine position sensing.
- Metal component presence detection.
- Machine end-position monitoring.
- Conveyor object detection and counting.
- Packaging and production machinery.
- Automated assembly equipment.
- Material handling and transfer systems.
- PLC-controlled factory automation systems.
