Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ICB18L50N20NCM1 Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi ICB18L50N20NCM1 is a robust M18 inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic targets in industrial machinery and automation systems. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi ICB series, this increased-range model combines a long cylindrical threaded body with a substantial 20 mm rated operating distance for applications requiring detection from further away.
The ICB18L50N20NCM1 features a three-wire NPN normally closed (NC) output and is specifically designed for non-flush mounting. Its 10–36 V DC supply range makes it straightforward to integrate with compatible PLC inputs, machine controllers and industrial automation equipment.
A durable nickel-plated brass M18 housing, M12 plug connection and IP67 protection rating provide a practical solution for demanding industrial environments. With a maximum output current of 200 mA and maximum switching frequency of 1.5 kHz, the sensor supports responsive position and presence detection across automated production equipment.

Reliable Increased-Range Metal Detection for Industrial Machinery
Inductive proximity sensors detect metallic targets without physical contact, providing repeatable position and presence feedback while avoiding the mechanical wear associated with contact-operated switches. The Carlo Gavazzi ICB18L50N20NCM1 combines this non-contact operating principle with a 20 mm sensing distance, making it particularly useful where additional clearance is required between the sensor and target.
Its long M18 threaded housing provides flexible mechanical positioning, while the M12 plug simplifies electrical installation and replacement. The fast switching capability, rugged metal construction and IP67 protection make the ICB18L50N20NCM1 well suited to machine building, material handling and automated manufacturing applications.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery position and presence sensing.
- Conveyor and material handling systems.
- Metal component and workpiece detection.
- Packaging and production machinery.
- Automated assembly equipment.
- Machine tools and manufacturing systems.
- PLC-based industrial automation systems.
