ei3008i020 – ind prox met m30 analog cab
Carlo Gavazzi EI3008I020 is an M30 nickel-plated brass analogue inductive position sensor with a 3–8 mm sensing range, flush mounting, 0–20 mA current output, 15–30 V DC supply and 2 m integral cable.
Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi EI3008I020 Analogue Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi EI3008I020 is an industrial M30 analogue inductive proximity sensor designed for continuous, non-contact measurement of metallic target position. Unlike conventional proximity switches that provide a simple on/off signal, the EI3008I020 produces a proportional 0–20 mA analogue current output, making it suitable for position measurement and monitoring applications within automated machinery.
The sensor provides an assured operating range of 3–8 mm and is designed for flush mounting in metal. Its cylindrical M30 nickel-plated brass housing provides robust mechanical construction, while the analogue sensing principle enables changes in metallic target distance to be represented through the current output for use by compatible PLC analogue inputs, displays and measurement equipment.
With a 15–30 V DC supply range, high linearity and an integral 2 m oil-resistant PVC cable, the EI3008I020 provides a practical solution for industrial position measurement. Reverse-polarity protection, an internal current limiter and IP67 protection further support dependable operation in demanding automation environments.

Analogue Position Measurement for Industrial Automation
Unlike a conventional digital inductive proximity switch, the EI3008I020 provides an analogue current signal that varies with the position of a metallic target within its 3–8 mm sensing range. The 0–20 mA output can therefore be used to monitor displacement or position rather than simply indicating whether a target is present.
This analogue capability makes the EI3008I020 particularly useful in automated measurement and positioning systems. It can be connected to compatible analogue PLC inputs and measurement equipment, and Carlo Gavazzi also specifies compatibility with suitable level amplifier and analogue display equipment for creating complete measurement systems.
Typical Applications
- Non-contact metallic target position measurement.
- Machine component displacement monitoring.
- Industrial positioning and alignment systems.
- Analogue feedback to PLC and automation systems.
- Production and assembly machinery.
- Machine tool position monitoring.
- Quality-control and dimensional monitoring equipment.
