Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ICB12SF02NO Inductive Proximity Sensor?

The Carlo Gavazzi ICB12SF02NO is a compact and reliable M12 inductive proximity sensor designed for non-contact detection of metallic objects in industrial machinery and automation systems. As part of the Carlo Gavazzi ICB inductive sensor series, it combines a short cylindrical body, standard sensing range and durable nickel-plated brass housing for dependable industrial operation.

This sensor provides an NPN normally open (NO), 3-wire output with a rated operating distance of 2 mm. Its flush-mountable configuration allows the sensing face to be integrated into surrounding metal, making it particularly suitable for compact machine installations where precise position or presence detection is required.

With a rated operating voltage of 10–36 V DC, output current up to 200 mA at temperatures up to 50 °C and a switching frequency of up to 2 kHz, the ICB12SF02NO provides responsive sensing for automated equipment. The short M12 × 50 mm housing, pre-wired 2 m cable and IP67 protection support straightforward installation in demanding industrial environments.
