Part of the Schneider Electric OsiSense XS series, the XS508B1NAM8 is an inductive proximity sensor engineered for reliable metal object detection in demanding industrial environments. This general-purpose sensor is commonly integrated into automated assembly lines and material handling systems where precise positioning and presence detection are critical.

Technical details

• Sensor Type: Inductive proximity sensor
• Detection Principle: Non-contact detection of metallic objects
• Sensing Range: 8 mm nominal sensing distance
• Output Type: NAMUR (Normally Open)
• Connection Type: M8 connector
• Housing Style: Cylindrical, threaded
• Operating Voltage: Designed for 2-wire NAMUR circuits, typically requiring an external power supply and interface circuit (verify datasheet for specific voltage requirements and interface compatibility)
• Enclosure Rating: Suitable for industrial environments (verify datasheet for specific IP rating)

Applications & compatibility

The Schneider XS508B1NAM8 is well-suited for integration into control systems for packaging machinery, conveyor belt monitoring, robotic end-of-arm tooling, and general machine safety applications. Its M8 connector and standard sensing range make it compatible with a wide array of automation controllers and I/O modules that support 2-wire NAMUR sensors.
