icb12ln08pc – prox sensor ind. m12 cab long pnp nc no-flush r.1
Carlo Gavazzi ICB12LN08PC M12 long-body inductive proximity sensor with 8 mm sensing distance, non-flush mounting, PNP normally closed 3-wire output, 10–36 V DC supply, 2 m cable and IP67 protection.
Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ICB12LN08PC Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi ICB12LN08PC is a robust M12 inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic targets in industrial automation and machine-building applications. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi ICB series, this long-body sensor combines an extended sensing range with a durable nickel-plated brass housing for dependable operation in demanding industrial environments.
The ICB12LN08PC provides a rated operating distance of 8 mm and is designed for non-flush mounting. Its PNP normally closed (NC), 3-wire output enables straightforward integration with compatible PLC inputs, machine controllers and automation systems for position monitoring, component detection, counting and machine sequencing.
Operating from a 10–36 V DC supply, the sensor supports an output current of up to 200 mA at 50°C and a switching frequency of up to 2 kHz. The long M12 × 65 mm body is supplied with an integral 2 m cable, while IP67 protection and built-in short-circuit, reverse-polarity and transient protection support dependable industrial operation.

Reliable Metal Detection for Industrial Automation
Inductive proximity sensors detect metallic targets without requiring physical contact. An electromagnetic sensing field responds when a suitable metal object enters the detection zone, allowing the solid-state output to change state and provide repeatable position or presence detection without the mechanical wear associated with contact-based switches.
The Carlo Gavazzi ICB12LN08PC combines an extended 8 mm sensing distance, non-flush installation, PNP normally closed switching and rugged industrial construction. Its long M12 housing and integral cable make it particularly suitable for automated machinery where reliable repetitive sensing and convenient installation are required.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machine position sensing.
- Metal component presence detection.
- Conveyor object detection and counting.
- Packaging and production machinery.
- Automated assembly equipment.
- Material handling and transfer systems.
- Machine sequencing and end-position monitoring.
- PLC-controlled factory automation systems.
