RS PRO Inductive Proximity Sensor Threaded Barrel, M18 x 1, PNP, 24V DC, 16 mm, Nickel Plated Brass, 200mA XS218B4PAM12

Telemecanique Sensors XS218B4PAM12 is a high-quality inductive proximity sensor designed for industrial automation, offering a M18 x 1 threaded barrel form factor and a 16 mm nominal sensing distance. This sensor is ideal for detection of metal objects in various automation, robotics, machine tool and material handling environments. Its durable nickel plated brass body ensures long service life under robust conditions.

Sensing distance of 16 mm enables reliable detection of metal parts in fast-moving applications. Threaded M18 x 1 barrel allows direct mounting in assembly lines and equipment frames. PNP output and discrete signal (3-wire) provide compatibility with common PLCs.

Rated supply voltage is 24V DC, with reverse polarity protection to safeguard against wiring errors. Nickel plated brass housing offers enhanced resistance to wear, vibration, and industrial fluids. Flexible non-flush mount design enables application-specific integration.

IP65, IP67, IP69K enclosure ratings ensure performance in dusty, wet, and washdown environments. Wide operating temperature range (-25°C to 70°C) supports use in both cold and hot industrial contexts. Maximum switching frequency of 1 kHz supports rapid operation cycles.

Standards compliance includes CE, CSA, E2, UL certifications.

Applications for this sensor include mobile equipment, conveying and hoisting, packaging machinery, and food and beverage industries, where accurate, non-contact detection of metal surfaces is required. The sensor is unaffected by oil, dirt, or surface finish, making it reliable for high vibration and shock areas.

The product features a 4-pin terminal type via a male M12 connector for straightforward electrical integration. Total length is 51 mm with a width and depth of 24 mm each. Shielding is unshielded for specific field sensing needs. Sensing area is protected by PPS front material.
