The Telemecanique XS212BLNAL2 is a 12 mm threaded-barrel inductive proximity sensor from the OsiSense XS family, delivering a 4 mm sensing distance with an NPN normally open output. It runs on 12 to 24 VDC and switches at up to 1000 Hz, which means it can detect ferrous targets passing at line speed without missing a beat — think counting parts on a conveyor or confirming a clamp is home.
Where it goes and what it withstands
The nickel-plated brass barrel and IP67 rating mean this sensor handles washdown environments — food processing, packaging lines, or any area where a hose-down is part of the sanitation cycle. The 2 m PVC pre-wired cable simplifies installation inside a junction box or cable tray; no connector to mate, just strip and terminate. Operating temperature from -13 to 158 °F covers most indoor industrial spaces and refrigerated areas.
