Schneider Electric XS1M18KPM40D

The XS1 M18 inductive proximity sensor is engineered for the non-contact detection of metallic objects, facilitating applications where physical contact is not feasible. This sensor is characterized by a nominal sensing distance of 5mm and operates efficiently within a supply voltage range of 12 to 24 VDC, with reverse polarity protection.

Constructed with a durable nickel-plated brass housing and featuring a cylindrical design with a diameter of 18mm, the sensor is equipped with a male M12 connector. It supports a four-wire connection and offers programmable output options in both PNP and NPN configurations, accommodating either normally open or normally closed setups. The compact length of 70mm and a threaded M18 x 1 design allow for seamless integration into various applications.

This device exhibits high performance with a maximum switching frequency of 1000 Hz and features a response time of 0.3 ms, ensuring rapid detection. Additionally, it is rated IP67, making it suitable for industrial environments where exposure to dust and water is a concern. The sensor's high reliability is further enhanced by overload and short-circuit protection, ensuring consistent operation in demanding conditions. Compliance with CE marking and certifications from CSA and UL underlines its quality and safety standards.
