Telemecanique Sensors XS508B1PAM8 Inductive Proximity Sensor

Product Description

The TELEMECANIQUE SENSORS XS508B1PAM8 is a cylinder-shielded inductive proximity sensor designed for non-contact detection of metallic targets in industrial automation applications. Built with an M8-threaded stainless steel housing, this sensor operates on 12 to 24 volts DC and delivers a detection distance of 1.5 mm (0.06 inches). It outputs a PNP normally open (NO) signal over three wires via an M8 three-pin connector. The XS508B1PAM8 supports a response frequency of 5,000 Hz, making it suitable for high-speed detection tasks. Rated IP67 for dust and water ingress protection, and built to withstand shock and vibration, this unit is engineered for reliable performance in demanding factory-floor environments.

This sensor is used in residential and commercial industrial automation, machine tooling, conveyor systems, and assembly line applications where precise, repeatable metallic object detection is required. Its compact M8 body and short detection range make it well suited for tight mounting spaces and close-proximity sensing tasks. Licensed electricians and automation technicians typically install this device as part of control panel wiring or machine safety circuits. No compatibility with specific third-party system models is stated in available product data.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style inductive proximity sensor replacement or new installation component for industrial control systems requiring an M8-threaded, PNP, three-wire, normally open sensor with a 1.5 mm detection distance and 12 to 24 volt DC supply voltage.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician or automation technician familiar with low-voltage DC control wiring and applicable NEC guidelines. De-energize the control circuit and lock out the machine before mounting or wiring the sensor. Use the M8x1 thread for secure panel or bracket mounting, and verify the three-pin M8 connector is fully seated before restoring power. Do not exceed the 200 mA maximum load capacity on the output circuit.
