Schneider Electric XS508B1NAM12

The Inductive Proximity Sensor XS5 M8 is designed for the detection of metallic objects up to 60mm without physical contact. This sensor operates by producing an alternating electromagnetic field that exits the detection area, allowing any metallic object penetrating this field to be detected. The sensor is threaded cylindrical with a diameter of M8 and is made of stainless steel for durability.

The nominal sensing distance of this sensor is 1.5mm, and it supports a normally open NPN discrete output with a switching frequency of 5000Hz. It operates in a temperature range from -25°C to +70°C and is dustproof and waterproof (IP67).

This sensor measures 42mm in length and 8mm in diameter, weighing approximately 0.025kg. It is suitable for various industries including railway, mobile equipment, lifts and escalators, hoisting, material handling, machine tools, packaging, food and beverage, and robotics.

This sensor is certified by UL and CSA, ensuring high-quality performance and safety standards. The main advantage of the inductive detection offered by this sensor is its non-contact nature, providing a safe and efficient method for detecting metallic objects.
