icb18sf08po – prox sensor ind. m18 cab short pnp no flush
Carlo Gavazzi ICB18SF08PO is a short-body M18 flush-mount inductive proximity sensor with an 8 mm sensing distance, 3-wire PNP normally open output, 10–36 V DC supply and 2 m cable for industrial metal detection.
Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ICB18SF08PO Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi ICB18SF08PO is a compact and reliable M18 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 an extended sensing range, short-body construction and robust metal housing for dependable position and presence detection.
This sensor provides a rated operating distance of 8 mm and is designed for flush mounting, allowing integration into metal machine structures while maintaining reliable sensing performance. Its 3-wire PNP normally open (NO) output provides straightforward interfacing with compatible PLCs, controllers and industrial automation equipment.
With a 10–36 V DC operating voltage, switching frequency up to 1.5 kHz and an integrated 2 m cable, the ICB18SF08PO provides responsive detection for conveyors, production machinery and automated handling systems. The nickel-plated brass M18 housing and IP67 protection rating provide durability for demanding industrial environments.

Reliable Metal Detection for Industrial Automation
Inductive proximity sensors detect metallic targets by generating an electromagnetic sensing field and monitoring changes when metal enters that field. This contactless operating principle eliminates the mechanical wear associated with conventional position switches, providing reliable and repeatable detection across high-cycle industrial machinery.
The ICB18SF08PO combines an extended 8 mm sensing distance with flush mounting and a compact short-body design. Its fast solid-state PNP output makes it suitable for machine builders and automation engineers requiring accurate detection of moving components, machine positions and metallic workpieces within automated production systems.
