ia06bsf10po – ind prox ss 6,5 3w pnpno cable
Carlo Gavazzi IA06BSF10PO is a compact 6.5 mm stainless steel inductive proximity sensor with a 1 mm sensing distance, 3-wire PNP normally open output, 10–30 V DC supply, 2 m cable and IP67 protection.
Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi IA06BSF10PO Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi IA06BSF10PO is a compact inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic targets in industrial automation and machine-control applications. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi IA series, it uses a miniature 6.5 mm cylindrical stainless steel housing that is particularly useful where available sensor mounting space is restricted.
This sensor provides a 3-wire DC PNP normally open (NO) output and operates from a 10–30 V DC supply, allowing straightforward integration with compatible PLC inputs, machine controllers and automation systems. Its 1 mm nominal sensing distance provides precise detection of nearby metallic components, while the shielded construction is designed for flush mounting in metal.
The IA06BSF10PO combines robust stainless steel construction with a 2 m PVC cable for direct electrical connection. With IP67 protection, an operating frequency of up to 2 kHz and an operating temperature range of -25 to +70 °C, it provides dependable proximity sensing for industrial machinery, automated production equipment and compact mechanisms.

Reliable Non-Contact Detection for Industrial Automation
Inductive proximity sensors detect metallic objects by generating an electromagnetic field at the sensing face and monitoring changes produced when conductive material enters the detection zone. This contactless operating principle enables fast and repeatable switching without the mechanical wear associated with conventional contact-based position switches.
The compact 6.5 mm format of the Carlo Gavazzi IA06BSF10PO makes it especially suitable for automated machinery where mounting space is limited. Its flush-mountable configuration, PNP normally open output and pre-wired cable provide a practical solution for component detection, machine position monitoring and automated production sequencing.
Typical Applications
- Metal component presence and position detection.
- Industrial automation and assembly machinery.
- PLC-controlled manufacturing equipment.
- Packaging and material handling systems.
- Machine position and end-of-travel sensing.
- Automated production and handling equipment.
- Compact mechanisms requiring non-contact metal detection.
