Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ICS08L45N04NCM5 Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi ICS08L45N04NCM5 is a long-body M8 inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic targets in industrial machinery and automation systems. Its stainless steel cylindrical threaded housing combines an extended 4 mm rated operating distance with a three-wire NPN normally closed (NC) output for integration with compatible PLC and machine-control inputs.
The ICS08L45N04NCM5 uses a non-flush mounting configuration, allowing the sensor to achieve its extended sensing range when installed with the required clearance around the sensing face. Its long-body M8 construction provides a compact diameter together with an extended threaded mounting section, making it suitable for machine designs where both small sensor size and increased detection distance are important.
Operating from a 10–36 V DC supply, the sensor supports output currents up to 200 mA at temperatures up to 50 °C and provides a maximum switching frequency of 2 kHz. An M8 plug connector, IP67 protection and an operating temperature range of -25 to +80 °C support dependable installation in demanding industrial automation environments.
