Telemecanique XS618B1NAL2 Inductive Proximity Sensor

The Telemecanique XS618B1NAL2 inductive proximity sensor is a cylindrical M18‑style device with a nickel‑plated brass housing that provides non‑contact detection of metal objects in industrial automation, well suited for use on conveyors, packaging machines, assembly lines, and material handling systems. It operates from 12 to 48 V DC with a 3‑wire NPN normally open output, delivering up to 200 mA and using a 2 m cable for straightforward installation in control panels or on machine frames, with an 8 mm sensing distance. Built for demanding environments, the XS618B1NAL2 carries IP68 and IP69K protection, supports flush mounting, and offers a switching frequency of 1000 Hz with a 0.3 ms response time to enable precise position sensing and fast object detection of moving parts and automated sequences. Certified for CE, UL, and CSA, this sensor is part of the XS6 family and a common replacement option includes XS618B1NAM12, XS618B1NBM12, and XS2M18NA370D.
