ia12cln04uc – ind prox pl m12 na nc cab
Carlo Gavazzi IA12CLN04UC is an M12 NAMUR normally closed inductive proximity sensor with a 4 mm sensing distance, thermoplastic housing, non-flush mounting and 2 m cable for industrial automation applications.
Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi IA12CLN04UC Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi IA12CLN04UC is a robust M12 inductive proximity sensor with NAMUR output designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic objects in industrial automation and machine control applications. As part of the Carlo Gavazzi IA series, it combines a compact cylindrical format with dependable sensing performance for demanding industrial environments.
This sensor uses inductive sensing technology to detect metal targets without physical contact, helping to minimise mechanical wear and improve long-term reliability. Its thermoplastic polyester housing, non-flush sensing arrangement and NAMUR interface make it particularly suitable for industrial control and monitoring systems requiring a low-power sensor signal.
With a nominal sensing distance of 4 mm, 7–9 V DC rated operating voltage and 2 m cable connection, the IA12CLN04UC provides straightforward integration into compatible NAMUR input circuits. Its long M12 cylindrical body, IP67 protection and operating temperature range of -25 to +70 °C support reliable operation in industrial installations.

Reliable Non-Contact Detection for Industrial Automation
Inductive proximity sensors detect conductive metallic targets by generating an electromagnetic field at the sensing face and monitoring changes caused when metal enters that field. Because detection requires no mechanical contact, the technology is well suited to repetitive position, presence and movement detection where long service life and dependable switching are important.
The Carlo Gavazzi IA12CLN04UC combines NAMUR signalling with a non-flush M12 sensing head and rugged thermoplastic construction. Its 4 mm sensing range, integral cable and IP67 protection make it suitable for integration into machinery, automated production equipment and industrial monitoring systems with compatible NAMUR interfaces.
Typical Applications
- Machine position and presence detection.
- Industrial automation and control systems.
- Metal component detection on production machinery.
- Conveyor and material handling equipment.
- Automated assembly and packaging machinery.
- Position monitoring of moving machine components.
