Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ICS30SN22NCM1-FB Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi ICS30SN22NCM1-FB is a rugged M30 inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic targets in demanding industrial and food-and-beverage applications. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi ICS30 full-metal washdown series, this short-body sensor combines an extended sensing range with corrosion-resistant stainless-steel construction and high environmental protection.
The ICS30SN22NCM1-FB provides an extended 22 mm rated sensing distance and is designed for non-flush / unshielded mounting. Its NPN normally-closed (NC) output enables integration with compatible PLC inputs and industrial control systems, while the compact M30 threaded cylindrical housing is particularly useful where available installation depth is limited.
Operating from a 10–36 V DC supply, the sensor supports an output current of up to 200 mA at 50 °C and an operating frequency of up to 1 kHz. Its AISI 316L stainless-steel body, M12 connector, FDA-certified PPS sensing face and IP67, IP68 and IP69K protection make it a dependable sensing solution for wet, hygienic and high-pressure washdown environments.
