Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ICS08S30N02NCM5 Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi ICS08S30N02NCM5 is a compact M8 inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic objects in industrial machinery and automation systems. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi ICS08 series, this three-wire DC sensor combines a short-body stainless-steel threaded housing with an extended sensing range for installations where space is limited.
The ICS08S30N02NCM5 features an NPN normally closed (NC) output, a rated operating distance of 2 mm and a non-flush mounting configuration. This extended-range design provides greater sensing distance than the standard flush short-body ICS08 variants, making it particularly useful for machine positioning, component detection and automated production equipment.
Operating from a 10–36 V DC supply, the sensor supports an output current up to 200 mA and a maximum switching frequency of 2 kHz. Its M8 plug connection, stainless-steel construction, IP67 protection rating and operating temperature range of -25 to +80 °C support dependable operation in demanding industrial environments.

Reliable Detection for Industrial Automation
Inductive proximity sensors detect metallic objects without physical contact by generating an electromagnetic sensing field. When a suitable metal target enters this field, the sensor changes its switching state, providing reliable position, presence and counting feedback without the mechanical wear associated with conventional contact switches.
The ICS08S30N02NCM5 is particularly suited to compact industrial machinery where additional sensing range and fast response are required. Its short M8 stainless-steel body helps minimise installation space, while the NPN normally closed output and detachable M8 connection enable straightforward integration with compatible PLCs, controllers and automated equipment.
Typical Applications
- Industrial conveyors and material handling systems.
- Machine position and end-of-travel detection.
- Metal component presence sensing.
- Packaging and assembly machinery.
- Tool selection and textile machinery.
- Automated production, counting and positioning systems.
