Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ICB18S30F12POM1 Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi ICB18S30F12POM1 is a compact 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, this increased-range model combines a short cylindrical threaded housing with a generous 12 mm rated operating distance and convenient M12 plug connection.
The ICB18S30F12POM1 features a PNP normally open (NO) output and quasi-flush mounting configuration. Operating from a broad 10–36 V DC supply, it is suitable for integration with compatible PLC inputs, machine controllers and industrial automation equipment where dependable metallic object detection is required.
With its rugged nickel-plated brass M18 housing, maximum output current of 200 mA, maximum switching frequency of 1.5 kHz and IP67 protection rating, the ICB18S30F12POM1 is engineered for demanding industrial environments. Its short-body construction helps reduce installation space, while the M12 connector enables straightforward wiring, servicing and sensor replacement.
