Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ICB18S30F12PC Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi ICB18S30F12PC is a high-performance 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 increased-range family, it combines a substantial sensing distance, compact short body and robust nickel-plated brass housing for dependable industrial operation.
The ICB18S30F12PC provides a PNP normally closed (NC), 3-wire output with a rated operating distance of 12 mm. Carlo Gavazzi specifies this increased-range model for quasi-flush mounting, providing greater target clearance than conventional standard-range M18 sensors while retaining a compact cylindrical format.
Operating from 10–36 V DC, the sensor supports an output current up to 200 mA and a maximum switching frequency of 1.5 kHz. Its short threaded body, pre-wired 2 m cable, operating temperature range of -25 to +70 °C, integrated LED indication and IP67 protection make it well suited to demanding industrial automation applications.
