Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ICB30L50N40PCM1 Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi ICB30L50N40PCM1 is a long-body M30 inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic targets in industrial machinery and automation systems. As part of the Carlo Gavazzi ICB series, this increased-range sensor combines a rugged nickel-plated brass housing with a PNP normally closed (NC) output for dependable industrial position and presence sensing.
Featuring a 40 mm rated operating distance and non-flush mounting configuration, the ICB30L50N40PCM1 provides significantly greater target clearance than conventional short-range inductive sensors. Its cylindrical M30 threaded construction allows secure mechanical installation, while the long-body format is suited to machine frames, brackets and other industrial mounting arrangements.
The sensor operates from a 10–36 V DC supply, supports output currents up to 200 mA and has a maximum switching frequency of 100 Hz. An M12 connector, IP67 protection and an operating temperature range of -25 to +70 °C make it well suited to factory automation, material handling and OEM machinery.

Increased-Range Metal Detection for Industrial Automation
Inductive proximity sensors detect metallic objects without requiring physical contact, helping reduce mechanical wear while providing repeatable position and presence feedback. The Carlo Gavazzi ICB30L50N40PCM1 combines this non-contact sensing principle with an increased 40 mm operating distance, making it particularly useful where a larger gap between the sensing face and target is required.
The sensor's PNP normally closed output is suitable for connection to compatible PLC inputs and machine-control circuits, while the M12 connector simplifies installation and sensor replacement. Its rugged M30 metal housing and IP67 protection make the ICB30L50N40PCM1 suitable for continuous use in industrial machinery and automated production equipment.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery position and presence detection.
- Conveyor and material handling systems.
- Metal component detection and counting.
- Automated assembly and production lines.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Machine tools and manufacturing equipment.
- End-position monitoring of moving machine components.
- OEM machine building and factory automation systems.
