Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ICS08L45F20M5PC Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi ICS08L45F20M5PC is a long-body M8 inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic targets in industrial machinery and automation systems. Its compact stainless steel threaded housing combines a 2 mm rated sensing distance with a three-wire PNP normally closed (NC) output for integration with compatible PLC and machine-control inputs.
Designed for flush mounting, the ICS08L45F20M5PC can be installed within suitable metal structures while maintaining its specified sensing performance. The long-body construction provides an extended threaded mounting area, while the compact M8 diameter makes the sensor particularly suitable for machinery where installation space is restricted.
The sensor operates from a 10–36 V DC supply, supports output currents up to 200 mA at temperatures up to 50 °C and provides a maximum switching frequency of 2 kHz. Its M8 plug connector, stainless steel housing, IP67 protection and operating temperature range of -25 to +80 °C provide a robust sensing solution for demanding industrial applications.

Compact High-Speed Metal Detection for Industrial Automation
Inductive proximity sensors detect metallic targets without physical contact by monitoring changes in an electromagnetic field at the sensing face. This contactless operating principle helps minimise mechanical wear while providing repeatable position, presence and component detection for automated machinery and industrial control systems.
The Carlo Gavazzi ICS08L45F20M5PC combines a compact M8 diameter with a 2 mm sensing distance and 2 kHz maximum switching frequency. Its PNP normally closed output, flush-mountable stainless steel housing and detachable M8 connection make it particularly suitable for compact machinery, tooling systems, material handling equipment and automated production applications.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery position and presence detection.
