ia05bsf10pc – ind prox m5 pnp nc cab flush
Carlo Gavazzi IA05BSF10PC is a flush-mountable M5 stainless steel inductive proximity sensor with a 1.2 mm sensing distance, 10–30 V DC supply, three-wire PNP normally closed output, 2 m cable and IP67 protection.
Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi IA05BSF10PC Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi IA05BSF10PC is a compact M5 inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic targets in industrial machinery and automation systems. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi IA series, this short-body sensor combines a stainless steel cylindrical housing with a three-wire PNP normally closed (NC) output for integration with compatible PLCs, controllers and machine control systems.
The IA05BSF10PC uses inductive sensing technology to detect metallic objects without physical contact, helping eliminate the mechanical wear associated with conventional limit switches. Its flush-mountable shielded design allows installation directly into surrounding metal, making it particularly suitable for compact machinery, positioning systems and automated production equipment.
With a rated sensing distance of 1.2 mm, a 10–30 V DC supply and an operating frequency of up to 4 kHz, the IA05BSF10PC provides fast and precise detection in demanding automation applications. The sensor features an integrated 2 m cable, stainless steel housing and IP67 protection for dependable industrial operation.
