Telemecanique Sensors Threaded Barrel Inductive Proximity Sensor, M12, NPN, 48V DC, 60mm, 264V AC, IP69K XS212AANAL2

The Telemecanique Sensors XS212AANAL2 is a high-performance threaded barrel inductive proximity sensor engineered for demanding industrial and automation environments. This sensor employs an M12 thread for simple, secure mounting, and its pre-cabled terminal design enables fast electrical connection with programmable logic controllers and industrial controllers.

With its NPN switching output configuration, the XS212AANAL2 is compatible with a wide variety of control circuits. The sensor operates at a maximum supply voltage of 48V DC, a maximum AC voltage of 264V AC, and a maximum DC voltage of 58V DC, making it suitable for flexible requirements in automation systems.

Constructed with robust polyphenylene sulphide housing, the sensor withstands aggressive cleaning and harsh environments, which is especially important in applications such as food, beverage, and pharmaceutical processing. The IP69K rating confirms exceptional protection against dust, high-pressure water jets, and continuous exposure to moisture, extending sensor lifespan.

The sensor’s non-flush, unshielded mounting design and cylindrical barrel form factor offer versatility in installation, supporting both short and long body options. Its maximum detection range of 60 mm covers a wide variety of sensing tasks for reliable metal object detection. The high frequency switching capability of 2.5 kHz allows the XS212AANAL2 to respond quickly to fast-moving objects and enables precise automation in dynamic industrial environments.

Operating temperatures from freezing at -25°C up to sterilisation temperatures at +85°C ensure functionality under extreme thermal conditions. The sensor is immune to oil, dirt, and surface finish, and can endure high vibration and shock, making it well-suited to harsh industrial processing and manufacturing workflows.

Typical applications include automated production lines, robotics, food packaging, pharmaceutical machinery, and material handling systems in sectors such as manufacturing, water treatment, HVAC equipment, and commercial automation. The sensor is designed to conform to international standards, including IEC, NEMA, UL, and CSA, supporting global industrial requirements.

The XS212AANAL2’s laser-marked identification enhances tamper-proof operation and traceability in regulated environments. Pre-cabled configuration simplifies connection and maintenance during integration and servicing. The sensor is part of the OsiSense XS series, which provides high-induction performance for precise detection.
