Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ICS08L45F20M5NO Inductive Proximity Sensor?

The Carlo Gavazzi ICS08L45F20M5NO is a long-body M8 inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic targets in industrial machinery and automation systems. Its compact stainless steel threaded housing combines a 2 mm rated sensing distance with a three-wire NPN normally open (NO) output for integration with compatible PLC and machine-control inputs.

Designed for flush mounting, the ICS08L45F20M5NO can be installed within suitable metal structures while maintaining its specified sensing performance. The long-body construction provides an extended threaded mounting section, while the compact M8 diameter makes the sensor particularly suitable for machinery where installation space is restricted.

The sensor operates from a 10–30 V DC supply, supports an output current of up to 100 mA and provides a maximum switching frequency of 2 kHz. Its M8 plug connector, stainless steel housing, IP67 protection and operating temperature range of -25 to +80 °C provide a robust sensing solution for demanding industrial applications.

Compact High-Speed Metal Detection for Industrial Automation

Inductive proximity sensors detect metallic targets without physical contact by monitoring changes in an electromagnetic field at the sensing face. This contactless principle helps minimise mechanical wear while providing repeatable position, presence and component detection for automated machinery and industrial control systems.

The Carlo Gavazzi ICS08L45F20M5NO combines a compact M8 diameter with a 2 mm sensing distance and 2 kHz switching frequency. Its NPN normally open output, flush-mountable stainless steel housing and detachable M8 connection make it particularly suitable for compact machinery, tooling systems, material handling equipment and automated production applications.

Typical Applications

  • Industrial machinery position and presence detection.
  • Compact automated production equipment.
  • Tool selection and machine-tool monitoring.
  • Metal component detection and counting.
  • Conveyor and material handling systems.
  • Automated assembly machinery.
  • End-position and travel monitoring.
  • OEM machine building and factory automation systems.
