Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ICS08S30N40M5PO Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi ICS08S30N40M5PO is a compact and reliable M8 inductive proximity sensor designed for non-contact detection of metallic objects in industrial machinery and automation systems. As part of the Carlo Gavazzi ICS series, it combines an extended sensing range with a short stainless-steel housing for installations where space is limited.
This three-wire DC sensor features a PNP normally-open (NO) output and a nominal sensing distance of 4 mm. Its non-flush mounting configuration provides the extended sensing range required for reliable metal detection, while the threaded M8 cylindrical body enables straightforward mechanical installation on machines, conveyors and automated equipment.
Operating from a 10–30 V DC supply, the ICS08S30N40M5PO supports an output current of up to 100 mA and an operating frequency of up to 2 kHz. An M8 plug connection simplifies sensor replacement and wiring, while the stainless-steel housing and IP67 protection provide dependable performance in demanding industrial environments.
