Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi IA08BSN40POM5 Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi IA08BSN40POM5 is a compact M8 inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic targets in industrial automation and machine-control applications. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi IA08 series, it combines a short cylindrical body with a robust stainless steel housing for dependable operation where installation space is limited.
This sensor provides a 3-wire DC PNP normally open (NO) output and operates from a 10–30 V DC supply, enabling straightforward integration with compatible PLC inputs and industrial controllers. Its extended 4 mm nominal sensing distance and unshielded configuration make it suitable for non-flush mounting where increased sensing range is required from a compact M8 sensor.
The IA08BSN40POM5 features an M8 connector for convenient installation, servicing and replacement. With a 1 kHz operating frequency, IP67 protection, stainless steel construction and an operating temperature range of -25 to +70 °C, it provides a durable sensing solution for automated machinery, production equipment and material-handling systems.

Extended-Range Non-Contact Detection for Industrial Automation
Inductive proximity sensors detect metallic objects by generating an electromagnetic field at the sensing face and monitoring changes caused when conductive material enters the detection zone. This contactless sensing principle provides rapid and repeatable switching without the mechanical wear associated with conventional contact-based position switches.
The Carlo Gavazzi IA08BSN40POM5 combines a compact M8 stainless steel body with an unshielded sensing arrangement to provide an extended 4 mm nominal sensing distance. Its PNP normally open output and detachable M8 connector make it a practical solution for component detection, machine position monitoring and automated sequencing in compatible industrial control systems.
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 machinery requiring extended-range M8 metal detection.
