Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ICB12S23N08M1PC Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi ICB12S23N08M1PC is a compact M12 inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic objects in industrial machinery and automation systems. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi ICB12S23 series, it combines an extended sensing range with an extra-short cylindrical body, making it particularly suitable for applications where installation space is limited.
This sensor provides a PNP normally closed (NC) output and a rated operating distance of 8 mm. Its non-flush mounting configuration enables the extended sensing range, while the M12 connector provides a convenient detachable electrical connection for installation, servicing and sensor replacement.
With a rated operating voltage of 10–36 V DC, maximum output current of 200 mA and maximum switching frequency of 2 kHz, the ICB12S23N08M1PC supports fast and repetitive industrial detection tasks. Its nickel-plated brass housing, IP67 protection rating and operating temperature range of -25 to +80 °C provide dependable performance in demanding industrial environments.

Reliable Inductive Detection for Industrial Automation
Inductive proximity sensors such as the Carlo Gavazzi ICB12S23N08M1PC detect metallic targets without physical contact by generating an electromagnetic field at the sensing face. When a suitable metal object enters the sensing range, the sensor changes its output state, enabling reliable position, presence and movement detection without the mechanical wear associated with conventional contact switches.
The ICB12S23 extra-short series is designed for industrial automation applications where available installation space is limited but extended sensing performance is required. The ICB12S23N08M1PC combines an 8 mm sensing distance, non-flush mounting, compact 44 mm overall length and detachable M12 connection, making it well suited to densely packaged machinery, automated production equipment and material handling systems.
Typical Applications
- Compact industrial machinery with restricted sensor mounting space.
- Machine position and presence detection.
- Conveyor and material handling systems.
- Packaging and production machinery.
- Automated assembly equipment.
- Metal component detection and counting.
- PLC-controlled industrial automation systems.
