The Telemecanique XS7C1A1PBL5 is an inductive proximity sensor in a flat 40 x 40 x 15 mm housing. The 15 mm sensing range determines the maximum distance at which it reliably detects ferrous metal targets — a key fit parameter for flush-mount or confined-space installations where the sensor face sits close to the target.
The flat 40 x 40 x 15 mm body is designed for tight panel or machine-frame mounting where a standard cylindrical sensor won't fit. It detects ferrous metal targets without physical contact, so it suits position sensing on conveyors, part-present detection, or end-of-travel limits in automated lines.
