ICS08S30F02NA – PROX SENSOR IND. 4-WIRE M8 CAB SHORT NPN FLUSH

Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ICS08S30F02NA Inductive Proximity Sensor?

The Carlo Gavazzi ICS08S30F02NA is a compact 4-wire M8 inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic targets in industrial automation and machine-control applications. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi ICS08 extended-range series, this sensor combines a short stainless-steel cylindrical body with flush mounting for installation in machinery where space is limited.

The ICS08S30F02NA features an NPN NO+NC complementary output, providing both normally open and normally closed switching functions from a single sensor. Its 2 mm rated sensing distance provides extended sensing performance from the compact M8 housing, while the inductive operating principle eliminates physical contact with the detected metal target and therefore reduces mechanical wear.

With a 10–36 V DC rated operating voltage, switching frequency up to 2 kHz and a permanently attached 2 m cable, the ICS08S30F02NA is designed for straightforward integration with PLCs and industrial control equipment. Its AISI 304 stainless-steel housing, IP67 protection and operating temperature range of -25 to +80 °C support dependable operation in demanding industrial environments.

Reliable Non-Contact Metal Detection for Industrial Automation

Inductive proximity sensors detect conductive metallic targets through an electromagnetic sensing field without requiring physical contact. This contact-free operating principle helps eliminate mechanical wear associated with conventional limit switches and makes the ICS08S30F02NA suitable for repetitive position, presence and machine-sequencing applications.

The ICS08S30F02NA combines a compact short M8 body with a 2 mm extended sensing range and complementary NPN NO+NC outputs. Its fast switching capability, rugged stainless-steel construction and flush-mount format make it particularly useful for compact automated machinery, production equipment and industrial control systems.

Typical Applications

• Metal component presence and position detection.
• Industrial conveyors and material handling systems.
• Automated assembly and production machinery.
• Packaging and processing equipment.
• Machine position and end-of-travel sensing.
• Counting and sequencing of metallic components.
