Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ICS05S23F08M5NC Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi ICS05S23F08M5NC is a compact M5 inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic objects in industrial machinery and automation systems. As part of the Carlo Gavazzi ICS series, this short-body sensor combines a robust stainless-steel threaded housing with a precise 0.8 mm rated operating distance, making it particularly suitable for installations where mounting space is limited.
The ICS05S23F08M5NC features an NPN normally closed (NC) output and operates from a 10–30 V DC supply. Its flush-mountable construction allows the sensing face to be installed level with surrounding metal, while the integral M8 connector provides a practical detachable connection for installation, servicing and sensor replacement.
With a maximum output current of 100 mA, switching frequency up to 6 kHz and an IP67 enclosure rating, the ICS05S23F08M5NC provides fast and dependable metal detection in demanding automation applications. Its compact M5 format and short cylindrical body make it well suited to precision machinery, tooling, assembly equipment and OEM automation systems.

Reliable Inductive Sensing for Industrial Automation
Inductive proximity sensors detect metallic targets without physical contact between the sensor and the object being monitored. This non-contact sensing principle helps minimise mechanical wear and provides repeatable detection for machine positioning, presence sensing, counting and automated production processes.
The compact M5 format of the Carlo Gavazzi ICS05S23F08M5NC makes it particularly useful where larger proximity sensors cannot be accommodated. Its flush installation, short stainless-steel body, fast switching frequency and detachable M8 connection support straightforward integration into compact industrial machines and automated equipment.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machine position sensing.
- Metal component presence detection.
- Automated assembly and production equipment.
- Packaging and handling machinery.
- Compact tooling, fixtures and machine assemblies.
- Conveyor and material handling systems.
- Counting and high-speed detection applications.
- OEM machinery and industrial automation systems.
