Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ICS05S23F15A2NO Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi ICS05S23F15A2NO is a compact M5 inductive proximity sensor designed for precise, non-contact detection of metallic objects in industrial machinery and automation systems. As part of the Carlo Gavazzi ICS05 miniature inductive sensor series, it combines an extended sensing range, short-body construction and robust stainless steel housing for reliable operation where installation space is limited.
This sensor provides a rated operating distance of 1.5 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 provides straightforward solid-state switching for compatible PLCs, controllers and industrial machine-control systems.
With a 10–30 V DC supply, maximum output current of 100 mA and maximum switching frequency of 4.5 kHz, the ICS05S23F15A2NO is particularly suitable for fast and precise detection applications. Its compact M5 × 28.2 mm housing, integrated 2 m cable and IP67 protection rating provide a durable miniature sensing solution for demanding industrial environments.

Precise High-Speed Metal Detection for Compact Machinery
Inductive proximity sensors detect metallic targets by generating an electromagnetic sensing field and monitoring the change produced when metal enters that field. Because detection takes place without physical contact, the technology eliminates mechanical switch wear and provides repeatable operation for high-cycle machinery, automated assemblies and precision positioning systems.
The ICS05S23F15A2NO combines a miniature M5 housing with a 1.5 mm sensing distance and switching frequency up to 4.5 kHz. Its NPN normally open output and compact stainless steel construction make it particularly suitable for machine builders and automation engineers requiring fast, accurate metallic target detection where conventional larger proximity sensors cannot easily be installed.
Typical Applications
- Compact industrial machinery and automation equipment.
- Precision metallic component presence detection.
- Machine position and end-point sensing.
- Robotic position and movement detection.
- Tool selection and monitoring systems.
- Micro-mechanisms and small automated assemblies.
- High-speed production and component counting systems.
