Telemecanique Sensors XS508B1PAL2 Proximity Sensor M8

Product Description

The TELEMECANIQUE SENSORS XS508B1PAL2 is a shielded cylindrical inductive proximity sensor designed for non-contact detection of metallic targets in industrial automation and control applications. Built with an M8 threaded brass housing, it operates on 12 to 24 volts DC and delivers a detection distance of 1.5 mm with a response frequency of 5,000 Hz. The PNP, normally open (NO) output drives loads up to 200 milliamps across 3 wires. Rated IP67, the sensor resists dust ingress and temporary immersion. It is installed by licensed electricians, automation technicians, and machine builders where reliable, high-speed proximity sensing is required in demanding environments.

This sensor is suited for factory automation, conveyor systems, machine tool positioning, and assembly line detection tasks in both light industrial and heavy manufacturing settings. The M8 x 1 threaded body allows direct panel or bracket mounting with standard M8 hardware. Its shock-resistant and vibration-resistant construction supports installation in high-cycle machinery where mechanical stress is a regular condition. The compact 33 mm overall length fits space-constrained mounting locations without sacrificing detection reliability.

Key Features

• 1.5 mm sensing distance with 5,000 Hz response frequency for high-speed cycle detection
• PNP normally open (NO) output, 3-wire configuration, up to 200 mA load capacity
• M8 x 1 threaded brass housing, shielded cylinder body for flush mounting
• IP67 ingress protection rating — dust-tight and protected against temporary submersion
• Shock-resistant and vibration-resistant construction per IEC 60068-2-27 and IEC 60068-2-6
• Operating temperature range: -13 degrees F to 158 degrees F

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit inductive proximity sensor for industrial control systems requiring an M8 shielded cylindrical PNP sensor with 1.5 mm detection distance and 3-wire cable output.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician or automation technician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements and the equipment manufacturer's wiring diagrams. De-energize and lock out the control circuit before wiring or removing the sensor. The M8 threaded housing should be secured with appropriate hardware to prevent rotation or loosening from vibration. Avoid routing the sensor cable alongside high-voltage power conductors to reduce noise interference on the output signal.
