Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ICS05S23F15M5IO Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi ICS05S23F15M5IO is a miniature M5 IO-Link inductive proximity sensor designed for intelligent, non-contact detection of metallic targets in compact industrial machinery and automation systems. Its stainless steel threaded housing, short-body construction and M8 plug connection make it particularly suitable for installations where space is limited.
The ICS05S23F15M5IO provides a rated operating distance of 1.5 mm with a flush-mountable sensing design. Its configurable electrical output can operate as PNP, NPN or push-pull, with normally open or normally closed switching available, providing greater flexibility than a conventional fixed-output proximity sensor.
Operating from a 10–30 V DC supply, the sensor supports output currents up to 100 mA and a maximum switching frequency of 4.5 kHz. Integrated IO-Link communication, IP67 protection and an operating temperature range of -25 to +70 °C make it a versatile solution for modern industrial automation and machine-building applications.
