Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ICB18LF08POM1 Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi ICB18LF08POM1 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 extended-range family, it combines an 8 mm sensing distance, long threaded body and durable nickel-plated brass housing for dependable industrial sensing.
The ICB18LF08POM1 provides a PNP normally open (NO), 3-wire output and is designed for flush mounting. Its extended 8 mm rated operating distance provides increased detection range while allowing the sensor to be integrated into surrounding metal in accordance with the manufacturer's mounting requirements.
Operating from 10–36 V DC, the sensor provides a switching frequency of up to 1.5 kHz for responsive detection in automated equipment. Its long M18 × 73 mm housing, M12 connector, integrated LED indication, operating temperature range of -25 to +70 °C and IP67 protection support reliable installation in demanding industrial environments.
