Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ICS05S23F15M5IO Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi ICS05S23F15M5IO is a miniature M5 IO-Link inductive proximity sensor designed for intelligent, non-contact detection of metallic targets in compact industrial machinery and automation systems. Its stainless steel threaded housing, short-body construction and M8 plug connection make it particularly suitable for installations where space is limited.
The ICS05S23F15M5IO provides a rated operating distance of 1.5 mm with a flush-mountable sensing design. Its configurable electrical output can operate as PNP, NPN or push-pull, with normally open or normally closed switching available, providing greater flexibility than a conventional fixed-output proximity sensor.
Operating from a 10–30 V DC supply, the sensor supports output currents up to 100 mA and a maximum switching frequency of 4.5 kHz. Integrated IO-Link communication, IP67 protection and an operating temperature range of -25 to +70 °C make it a versatile solution for modern industrial automation and machine-building applications.

Intelligent Miniature Metal Detection with IO-Link
Inductive proximity sensors detect metallic objects without physical contact by monitoring changes in an electromagnetic field at the sensing face. The miniature M5 construction of the ICS05S23F15M5IO enables precise sensing in compact mechanisms while helping eliminate mechanical contact and wear at the detection point.
Integrated IO-Link functionality provides additional configuration flexibility, including programmable output behaviour and sensor parameters. Combined with its 1.5 mm sensing distance, configurable output and 4.5 kHz switching capability, the ICS05S23F15M5IO is well suited to intelligent high-speed sensing in modern automated machinery.
Typical Applications
