Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ICB30S30N22PO Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi ICB30S30N22PO 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 ICB30 inductive sensor series, it combines an extended sensing range, short cylindrical body and durable nickel-plated brass construction for dependable position and presence detection.
This sensor provides a rated operating distance of 22 mm and is designed for non-flush mounting, providing an extended detection range for applications where greater separation between the sensor and metallic target is required. Its PNP normally open (NO) output enables straightforward integration with compatible PLCs, controllers and industrial automation equipment.
With a 10–36 V DC supply, maximum output current of 200 mA and maximum switching frequency of 1 kHz, the ICB30S30N22PO provides responsive operation for conveyors, production machinery and automated handling equipment. Its integrated 2 m cable, nickel-plated brass housing and IP67 protection rating support reliable operation in demanding industrial environments.

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, they minimise mechanical wear and provide repeatable switching for high-cycle industrial machinery and automated equipment.
The ICB30S30N22PO combines a substantial 22 mm sensing distance with non-flush mounting and a solid-state PNP normally open output. This makes it particularly useful for machine builders and automation engineers requiring dependable detection where the target cannot be positioned immediately next to the sensor face.
Typical Applications
- Industrial conveyors and material handling systems.
- Metal component presence detection.
- Machine position and end-point sensing.
- Packaging and production machinery.
- Automated assembly and manufacturing equipment.
- Robotics and automated handling systems.
