ICB12S23N08A2NC – IND PROX SENS. M12 SHORT BODY CAB NPN NC NON-FLUSH

Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ICB12S23N08A2NC Inductive Proximity Sensor?

The Carlo Gavazzi ICB12S23N08A2NC is an extra-short-body M12 inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic targets where installation space is limited. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi ICB12 series, it combines an extended sensing range with a durable nickel-plated brass threaded housing for industrial automation and machine-building applications.

The ICB12S23N08A2NC provides a rated operating distance of 8 mm with a non-flush mounting configuration and an NPN normally closed (NC) output. Despite its compact body, the sensor supports switching frequencies up to 2 kHz, making it suitable for responsive detection of moving metallic components.

Operating from a 10–36 V DC supply, the sensor supports output currents up to 200 mA and is supplied with an integral 2 m cable. Its IP67 protection, yellow LED indication and built-in short-circuit, reverse-polarity and transient protection provide a robust sensing solution for demanding industrial installations.

Extended-Range Detection in a Compact M12 Sensor

Inductive proximity sensors detect metallic targets without physical contact, providing repeatable switching while avoiding the mechanical wear associated with contact-based sensing devices. The principle is well suited to automated machinery requiring reliable component presence, position, movement or end-of-travel detection.

The ICB12S23N08A2NC is particularly useful where both compact installation dimensions and an extended 8 mm sensing range are required. Its extra-short 29 mm body, NPN normally closed output, 2 kHz switching capability and rugged IP67 construction provide a flexible sensing solution for modern industrial equipment.

Typical Applications

• Compact industrial machinery with restricted sensor mounting depth.
• Conveyor and material handling equipment.
• Metal component presence and position detection.
• Automated assembly and production machinery.
• Machine position and end-of-travel monitoring.
• Packaging and processing equipment.
• Metallic workpiece counting and detection.
• OEM machinery requiring compact, extended-range sensing.
