Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ICB30S30F10NO Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi ICB30S30F10NO is a robust M30 inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic objects in industrial machinery and automation systems. As part of the Carlo Gavazzi ICB inductive sensor series, it combines a compact short-body format, durable nickel-plated brass construction and dependable solid-state switching for industrial position and presence detection.
This sensor provides a rated operating distance of 10 mm and is designed for flush mounting, allowing the sensing face to be integrated neatly into surrounding metal structures. Its NPN normally open (NO) output enables straightforward connection to compatible PLCs, controllers and machine-control systems.
With a 10–36 V DC supply, maximum output current of 200 mA and maximum switching frequency of 1 kHz, the ICB30S30F10NO provides responsive operation for conveyors, automated production machinery and material handling equipment. The short M30 body, integrated 2 m cable and IP67 protection rating make it particularly suitable for compact and demanding industrial installations.

Reliable Metal Detection for Industrial Automation
Inductive proximity sensors detect metallic objects by generating an electromagnetic sensing field and monitoring the change produced when a metal target enters that field. Because detection takes place without physical contact, these sensors minimise mechanical wear and provide repeatable switching for high-cycle industrial machinery.
The ICB30S30F10NO combines a 10 mm sensing distance with flush mounting and a compact short-body M30 housing. Its solid-state NPN normally open output and 1 kHz maximum switching frequency make it suitable for machine builders and automation engineers requiring dependable position, presence and movement detection.
