Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ICB18L50F12PCM1 Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi ICB18L50F12PCM1 is a high-performance M18 inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic targets in industrial machinery and automation systems. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi ICB series, it combines an increased sensing range, long threaded body and durable nickel-plated brass housing for dependable operation in demanding industrial applications.
The ICB18L50F12PCM1 provides a PNP normally closed (NC) output with an increased rated operating distance of 12 mm. Its quasi-flush mounting configuration provides an effective balance between increased sensing distance and compact machine integration, making it suitable for applications requiring greater target clearance than standard-range M18 sensors.
Operating from 10–36 V DC, the sensor supports a maximum output current of 200 mA and a maximum switching frequency of 1.5 kHz. Its long M18 × 75 mm cylindrical body, detachable M12 connector, operating temperature range of -25 to +70 °C and IP67 protection support straightforward integration into modern industrial automation equipment.
