Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ICB30S35N40PCM1 Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi ICB30S35N40PCM1 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 extended sensing range, compact short-body construction and robust metal housing for dependable position and presence detection.
This sensor provides a rated operating distance of 40 mm and is designed for non-flush mounting, delivering an exceptionally long detection range for an M30 cylindrical inductive sensor. Its PNP normally closed (NC) output enables straightforward integration with compatible PLCs, controllers and industrial automation equipment.
The ICB30S35N40PCM1 uses a 3-wire DC connection and an M12 plug connector, allowing rapid installation, replacement and maintenance without a permanently attached cable. Its compact M30 × 35 mm short-body format makes it particularly useful where mounting depth is restricted while an extended sensing distance is required.

Reliable Long-Range Metal Detection for Industrial Automation
Inductive proximity sensors detect metallic targets by generating an electromagnetic field at the sensing face and monitoring changes caused when metal enters that field. This contactless operating principle provides repeatable detection without the mechanical wear associated with conventional limit switches, making inductive sensing particularly suitable for high-cycle automated machinery.
The ICB30S35N40PCM1 combines an extended 40 mm sensing distance with a compact short M30 housing and PNP normally closed switching. This combination allows machine builders and automation engineers to detect metallic components from greater distances while minimising the installation depth required behind the sensor mounting point.
