Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ICB30S35F22NC Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi ICB30S35F22NC is a high-performance 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 an increased sensing range, compact short-body construction and robust nickel-plated brass housing for dependable position and presence detection.
This sensor provides a rated operating distance of 22 mm using a quasi-flush mounting configuration. This increased-range design provides greater installation flexibility than conventional flush M30 sensors while retaining a compact cylindrical format. Its NPN normally closed (NC) 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 100 Hz, the ICB30S35F22NC provides dependable switching for machine positioning, component detection and production monitoring. Its integrated 2 m cable, short M30 × 35 mm body and IP67 protection rating make it particularly suitable for demanding industrial installations where both extended sensing and compact dimensions are required.

Reliable Metal Detection for Industrial Automation
Inductive proximity sensors detect metallic objects by generating an electromagnetic sensing field and monitoring changes caused when a metal target enters that field. Because detection takes place without physical contact, the technology eliminates mechanical switch wear and provides repeatable operation for high-cycle industrial machinery and automated production equipment.
The ICB30S35F22NC combines a substantial 22 mm sensing distance with quasi-flush mounting and a compact short-body M30 housing. Its NPN normally closed solid-state output makes it suitable for machine builders and automation engineers requiring reliable position, presence and component detection while minimising the installation space required by the sensor.
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.
