Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ICB18S30N20POM1 Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi ICB18S30N20POM1 is a compact M18 inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic objects in industrial machinery and automation systems. As part of the Carlo Gavazzi ICB18 series, it combines a substantial sensing range with short-body construction, a rugged nickel-plated brass housing and an M12 plug connection for dependable industrial use.
This sensor provides an increased 20 mm rated sensing distance with a PNP normally open output. Its non-flush, unshielded installation configuration enables greater sensing distance than conventional flush-mounted M18 sensors, making it particularly useful for machine positioning, component detection and material handling applications where additional target clearance is beneficial.
With a 10–36 V DC operating supply, maximum output current of 200 mA and maximum switching frequency of 1.5 kHz, the ICB18S30N20POM1 delivers fast and dependable switching for industrial control systems. Its M12 plug connector, compact 64 mm overall length and IP67 protection rating provide a practical solution for machine builders and automation engineers.
