Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ICS30LN15POM1-FB Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi ICS30LN15POM1-FB is a robust M30 inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic targets in demanding industrial, food processing and beverage production environments. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi ICS30 food and beverage sensor range, it combines a long stainless-steel threaded housing with a 15 mm sensing distance and non-flush mounting.
This DC proximity sensor features a PNP normally open (NO) output, providing straightforward integration with compatible PLCs and industrial control systems. Its inductive operating principle detects conductive metallic targets without mechanical contact, helping reduce wear while providing dependable position, presence and machine-sequencing detection.
With a rated operating voltage of 10–36 V DC, output current up to 200 mA and an operating frequency up to 1 kHz, the ICS30LN15POM1-FB is suited to responsive industrial automation. Its M12 connector, stainless-steel construction, IP67/IP68/IP69K protection and ECOLAB approval make it particularly suitable for machinery exposed to intensive cleaning and washdown processes.

The ICS30LN15POM1-FB uses an electromagnetic sensing field to detect conductive metallic targets without requiring physical contact. This contact-free operating principle avoids mechanical actuation at the sensing point, helping minimise wear and providing reliable detection for repetitive position, presence, counting and machine-sequencing applications.
Its 15 mm non-flush sensing distance provides useful detection range where additional clearance between the sensor and target is required. Combined with the stainless-steel housing, IP67/IP68/IP69K ingress protection and ECOLAB approval, the ICS30LN15POM1-FB is particularly well suited to food and beverage equipment and other industrial machinery exposed to frequent high-pressure cleaning.
Typical Applications
- Food and beverage processing machinery.
- Washdown production and packaging equipment.
- Metal component presence and position detection.
- Conveyor and material handling systems.
- Automated filling, bottling and packaging machinery.
- Machine position and end-of-travel sensing.
