Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ICS05S23F15M5NC Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi ICS05S23F15M5NC is a miniature M5 inductive proximity sensor designed for precise, non-contact detection of metallic targets in compact industrial machinery and automation systems. Its short cylindrical threaded housing combines robust metal construction with an NPN normally closed (NC) output for integration with compatible PLC and machine-control inputs.
The ICS05S23F15M5NC provides a rated operating distance of 1.5 mm and is designed for flush mounting. Its compact M5 format makes it particularly useful where installation space is restricted, while the increased sensing distance provides additional target clearance compared with standard-range miniature sensors.
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. The M8 plug connector, IP67 protection and operating temperature range of -25 to +70 °C make it a practical choice for high-speed industrial sensing and compact machine-building applications.

Compact High-Speed Metal Detection for Industrial Automation
Inductive proximity sensors detect metallic objects without physical contact by sensing changes in an electromagnetic field at the sensing face. This contactless operating principle eliminates mechanical contact at the detection point, making miniature inductive sensors particularly useful for repetitive position, presence and component detection in automated machinery.
The Carlo Gavazzi ICS05S23F15M5NC combines its compact M5 short-body format with a 1.5 mm sensing distance and 4.5 kHz maximum switching frequency. Its NPN normally closed output and detachable M8 connection provide a practical sensing solution for compact mechanisms, tooling systems, robotic equipment and high-speed industrial automation.
