The XS508BLNBM12: XS5-series shielded M8 proximity sensor with NPN NC output. Built-in overload, reverse polarity, and short circuit protection. Stainless steel 303 body resists corrosive washdown environments. Rated IP65/IP67 for wet or dusty zones. 2 mm shielded sensing distance targets ferrous metals through non-metallic barriers.
What the ratings mean for fit
Integrated overload, reverse polarity, and short circuit protection eliminates the need for external suppression on inductive loads — loop is self-protected.
Where it is used
Inductive proximity sensing for ferrous metal targets in machine tools, conveyor systems, valve position feedback, die casting, and food processing washdown zones. The stainless 303 body suits food-grade washdown and chemical splash environments.
