Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ICB12SF04NO Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi ICB12SF04NO is a compact and robust M12 inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic targets in industrial machinery and automation systems. As part of the Carlo Gavazzi ICB inductive sensor series, it combines an extended sensing range, short threaded body and durable nickel-plated brass construction for dependable operation in demanding applications.
This sensor provides an NPN normally open (NO), 3-wire output with a rated operating distance of 4 mm. Its flush-mountable configuration allows compact integration into metal machine structures, while the extended sensing range provides greater detection distance than standard-range flush M12 variants.
With a rated operating voltage of 10–36 V DC and a switching frequency of up to 2 kHz, the ICB12SF04NO is suitable for responsive position and presence detection in automated equipment. Its short M12 × 50 mm housing, pre-wired 2 m cable, integrated LED indication and IP67 protection support straightforward installation and reliable industrial operation.
