56 mm body, M18 thread — panel fit at a glance
The XS1M18AB120L1: The 56 mm body length and M18 cylindrical design define the mounting envelope — the sensor fits a standard 18 mm drilled hole with a locknut, common on conveyor frames, machine guards, and turntable stops.
Current production — no lifecycle worry
Typical lead time is 5-7 working days for in-stock units; quantities beyond stock are quoted against the BOM.
Inductive sensing — what the class does
This is an inductive proximity sensor, part of the Telemecanique XS1 series. It detects ferrous and non-ferrous metal targets without physical contact — the oscillator field collapses when a conductive object enters the sensing face. The M18 barrel is a standard industrial form factor, interchangeable with other M18 inductive sensors in the same mounting hole pattern.
