The XS1N18NC410: Classed as an inductive sensor in the Proximity Sensors category, it detects the presence of metal targets without physical contact — a standard choice for position sensing on conveyors, packaging machinery, and automated assembly lines where a non-contact, wear-free limit switch is needed.
Specifications and what they mean on the line
The M18 barrel form factor is the most common housing for industrial proximity sensors, meaning it drops into existing brackets and mounting holes without adapter plates. As an inductive proximity sensor, its sensing range depends on the target material — typically rated on mild steel, with a correction factor for stainless steel.
