Telemecanique Sensors Inductive Threaded Barrel Proximity Sensor, M18, 8 mm Detection, NPN NO, 12 → 48 V dc

Telemecanique Inductive Proximity Sensors XS series allow you to detect all types of objects in all applications providing high detection performance for metal objects. This inductive sensor range with industry recognised high performing technology provide non-contact detection of material up to 20 mm. Inductive proximity sensors are available in flush and non-flush models (shielded and non-shielded).

Single (XS518) and double (XS618) nominal transmission range.
Can be flush-mounted in metal.
High switching frequency.
Output by 2 m cable or M12 and
1/2'' UNF connector (4 contacts).

Inductive proximity sensors contain a coil and an oscillator, these create an electromagnetic field close to the sensing surface. When metal enters this field, a change occurs in the oscillating amplitude. This, in turn, changes the sensor output, showing you and equipment that metal has been sensed. Inductive proximity sensors are suitable for use most industries. Inductive sensors are unaffected by oil, dirt or surface finish and can be used in high vibration and high shock areas.
