Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ICS05S23F08A2PC Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi ICS05S23F08A2PC is a miniature M5 inductive proximity sensor designed for precise, non-contact detection of metallic targets in industrial machinery and automation systems. As part of the Carlo Gavazzi ICS series, it combines a compact short-body design with a rugged stainless steel housing and a PNP normally closed (NC) output.
With a rated operating distance of 0.8 mm and a flush-mountable sensing arrangement, the ICS05S23F08A2PC is particularly suited to applications where installation space is limited and accurate metal detection is required. Its miniature M5 threaded barrel provides secure mounting in compact mechanisms, robotic equipment, tooling systems and automated machinery.
The sensor operates from a 10–30 V DC supply, supports output currents up to 100 mA and provides a maximum switching frequency of 6 kHz for rapid target detection. A 2 m integral cable, IP67 protection and an operating temperature range of -25 to +70 °C support reliable use in demanding industrial environments.
