Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ICS08S30F01PC Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi ICS08S30F01PC is a compact and robust M8 inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic objects in industrial automation and machine-building applications. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi ICS08 series, this three-wire DC sensor combines a short stainless-steel threaded housing with precise switching performance for installations where available mounting space is limited.
The ICS08S30F01PC features a PNP normally closed (NC) output, a rated operating distance of 1 mm and a flush-mountable sensing configuration. Its shielded design allows the sensor to be installed flush within surrounding metal, providing a neat and protected installation while maintaining dependable detection of suitable metallic targets.
Operating from a 10–36 V DC supply, the sensor provides a maximum output current of 200 mA and a maximum switching frequency of 2 kHz. A factory-fitted 2 m PVC cable, stainless-steel housing, IP67 protection rating and operating temperature range of -25 to +80 °C make it well suited to demanding industrial environments.

Reliable Detection for Industrial Automation
Inductive proximity sensors detect metallic objects without physical contact by creating an electromagnetic sensing field. When a suitable metal target enters the sensing area, the sensor changes its output state, providing accurate position, presence and counting feedback without the mechanical wear associated with conventional contact switches.
The ICS08S30F01PC is particularly suited to compact machinery where reliable detection and rapid switching are required. Its flush-mountable M8 stainless-steel body can be integrated neatly into machine structures, while the PNP normally closed output provides straightforward connection to compatible PLCs, controllers and industrial automation equipment.
Typical Applications
- Industrial conveyors and material handling systems.
- Machine position and end-of-travel detection.
- Metal component presence sensing.
- Packaging and assembly machinery.
- Automated production and manufacturing equipment.
- Tool selection, textile machinery and compact automation systems.
