Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ICB18L50N20POM1 Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi ICB18L50N20POM1 is a robust 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 industrial sensing.
The ICB18L50N20POM1 provides a PNP normally open (NO) output with an increased rated operating distance of 20 mm. Its non-flush mounting configuration supports this extended detection range, making it particularly suitable for applications where greater clearance between the sensor and metallic target is required.
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 cylindrical housing, detachable M12 connector, operating temperature range of -25 to +70 °C and IP67 protection support reliable integration into demanding industrial automation equipment.
