Product details

It runs on 12-24V DC and switches at 250 Hz with a 2 msec response time, making it a solid choice for long-range presence detection on conveyor lines or automated storage aisles where you need a clean beam break signal. The PBT case and scratch-resistant lens hold up to the dust and occasional bump out here in the grease.

The 45 m through-beam range means the emitter and receiver pair can span a wide aisle or long conveyor section — good for detecting pallets or totes at distance. The 2 msec response time and 250 Hz switching frequency handle fast-moving parts without missing a beat. IP65 rating means it's sealed against hose-down and dust, but not submersion; fine for most factory floor environments. The 100 mA maximum load current is the emitter's own consumption, not a switching output — this is the transmitter half of a through-beam pair, so you'll need a separate receiver (like the XUK series receiver) to complete the set.

Frequently asked questions

What are the key ratings for the XUK2AKSNM12T?

Through-beam photoelectric sensor emitter with a 45 m sensing range, 12-24V DC supply, 2 msec response time, 250 Hz switching frequency, IP65, and a PBT case with scratch-resistant lens.

What compliance documentation does this sensor carry?

It is CE, CSA, and UL Listed, covering most North American and European regulatory requirements.

Will the XUK2AKSNM12T drop into a panel specified around the XU2M18AP20D?

No — the XUK2AKSNM12T is a rectangular 50x50 mm plastic emitter with an M12 connector, while the XU2M18AP20D is a cylindrical M18 metal through-beam set with a 70 m range and PNP output. They are not footprint- or wiring-compatible without rework.
