Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ID40CNC06AF-K Analogue Inductive Proximity Sensor?

The Carlo Gavazzi ID40CNC06AF-K is a compact rectangular analogue inductive proximity sensor designed for continuous, non-contact measurement of metallic targets in industrial automation applications. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi ID series, it combines a low-profile polypropylene housing with an analogue current output, making it suitable for applications where more information than a simple ON/OFF proximity signal is required.

Unlike a conventional switching proximity sensor, the ID40CNC06AF-K provides an analogue output that varies according to the position of a metallic target within its sensing range. It offers a measuring range of 0–6 mm with an analogue current output of approximately 0.6–15.5 mA, enabling continuous monitoring of target position, displacement or distance.

Operating from a 15–30 V DC supply, the sensor features a compact 40 × 50 × 12 mm rectangular housing, non-flush mounting and a factory-fitted cable connection. Its IP67 enclosure protection and straightforward analogue interface make it a practical sensing solution for machine control, position feedback and automated production equipment.

Continuous Analogue Inductive Position Sensing

Analogue inductive sensors such as the Carlo Gavazzi ID40CNC06AF-K detect metallic targets using an electromagnetic sensing field, but instead of providing only a binary switching signal, they generate a continuously varying electrical output. This allows a control system to determine changes in the position or distance of a metal target within the sensor's specified measuring range.

With its 0–6 mm sensing range and analogue current output, the ID40CNC06AF-K is suitable for applications requiring continuous position feedback, displacement monitoring or proximity measurement. Its compact rectangular form also makes it useful where available installation space or machine geometry makes a conventional cylindrical sensor less convenient.

Typical Applications

• Continuous metallic target position monitoring.
• Machine component displacement measurement.
• Industrial position feedback systems.
• Gap and distance monitoring of metallic components.
• Automated manufacturing and assembly machinery.
• Machine tool positioning applications.
• Production line process monitoring.
• Industrial control systems requiring an analogue proximity signal.
