ia12cln04ucm1 – ind prox pl m12 na nc plug
Carlo Gavazzi IA12CLN04UCM1 is a long-body M12 NAMUR normally closed inductive proximity sensor with a 4 mm sensing distance, non-flush mounting, thermoplastic polyester housing and M12 plug connection for industrial automation applications.
Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi IA12CLN04UCM1 Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi IA12CLN04UCM1 is a compact and reliable M12 NAMUR inductive proximity sensor designed for non-contact detection of metallic targets in industrial machinery and automation systems. As part of the Carlo Gavazzi IA series, it features a long cylindrical thermoplastic polyester housing and an M12 connector for convenient integration into industrial sensing circuits.
This sensor uses inductive sensing technology to detect metal objects without physical contact, helping to reduce mechanical wear while providing dependable position and presence detection. Its NAMUR normally closed (NC) output is designed for compatible NAMUR interface equipment, while the non-flush mounting arrangement provides an extended nominal sensing distance.
With a nominal sensing distance of 4 mm, a rated operating voltage of 7–9 V DC and a maximum operating frequency of 1.2 kHz, the IA12CLN04UCM1 is well suited to repetitive industrial sensing duties. The M12 plug connection, IP67 protection and operating temperature range of -25 to +70 °C support reliable installation in demanding machinery and automation environments.

Reliable Non-Contact Detection for Industrial Automation
Inductive proximity sensors detect metallic targets by generating an electromagnetic field at the sensing face and monitoring the change produced when conductive material enters that field. This contactless operating principle eliminates the need for mechanical switching contact with the target, making inductive sensors particularly suitable for repetitive position, presence and movement detection in automated machinery.
The Carlo Gavazzi IA12CLN04UCM1 combines a 4 mm sensing range with NAMUR signalling, non-flush mounting and a convenient M12 connector. Its thermoplastic polyester housing, IP67 protection and wide industrial operating temperature range make it a practical choice for machine builders and automation engineers requiring a compact M12 metal-detection sensor.
