Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ICB18S30F12PCM1 Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi ICB18S30F12PCM1 is a compact 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, short threaded body and durable nickel-plated brass housing for dependable industrial sensing.
The ICB18S30F12PCM1 provides a PNP normally closed (NC), 3-wire output with a rated operating distance of 12 mm. Carlo Gavazzi specifies this increased-range sensor for quasi-flush mounting, providing greater target clearance than conventional standard-range M18 sensors while retaining a compact short-body format.
Operating from 10–36 V DC, the sensor supports a maximum output current of 200 mA and a maximum switching frequency of 1.5 kHz. Its short M18 × 55 mm cylindrical housing, detachable M12 connector, operating temperature range of -25 to +70 °C and IP67 protection support reliable integration into demanding industrial automation equipment.
