Telemecanique Sensors XS608B1NAM12 Proximity Sensor M8

Product Description

The TELEMECANIQUE SENSORS XS608B1NAM12 is a shielded cylindrical inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic targets in industrial automation, machine control, and motion sensing applications. Built on an M8 threaded stainless steel housing, it delivers a 0.1-inch (2.5 mm) detection distance with a response frequency of 2,500 Hz, making it well-suited for high-cycle-rate sensing tasks. The NPN, normally open output connects via a 3-wire configuration to a four-pin M12 connector. Operating across 12 to 48 volts DC, the sensor handles loads up to 200 milliamps. Licensed electricians, automation technicians, and industrial maintenance professionals are the primary installers of this device.

This sensor fits residential and commercial industrial automation environments where consistent, repeatable detection of ferrous and non-ferrous metal objects is required. Its compact M8 body makes it a practical choice for tight mounting spaces on conveyor systems, robotic end-effectors, machine tool fixtures, and assembly line position-sensing stations. The IP67 ingress protection rating means the unit resists dust ingress and temporary water immersion, supporting use in wash-down or high-particulate environments. It measures 2.44 inches overall in length and weighs 0.07 pounds.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit inductive proximity sensor for industrial control systems accepting M8-threaded shielded cylindrical sensors with NPN normally open output and M12 four-pin connectors operating on 12 to 48 volts DC.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or qualified automation technician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements and the equipment manufacturer guidelines. De-energize the control circuit completely before wiring or removing the sensor. The four-pin M12 connector should be fully seated and locked to maintain the IP67 rating. Avoid mounting in direct contact with the target surface; maintain proper sensing gap as specified to prevent false triggering or sensor damage.
