Telemecanique XS518B1DAL2TF Inductive Proximity Switch

The Telemecanique XS518B1DAL2TF inductive proximity switch is a compact M18 cylindrical sensor from the XS5 family that detects metallic objects without contact to provide reliable position sensing in industrial automation. It operates on 12–48 V DC with a DC two‑wire output and normally open contact, switches up to 100 mA, and has a 5 mm sensing distance for metal detection on conveyors, packaging machines, sorting systems, and assembly lines. The brass housing supports flush mounting and is rated IP68 and IP69K for harsh washdown and dusty environments, with a 2 m cable for easy wiring and a switching frequency of 3000 Hz. Common replacements include XS518B1DAL2, XS518B1DAM12, and XS1M18DA220.
