Schneider Electric's XS8 inductive proximity sensor is designed for object detection in automated systems. This sensor, part of the XS Series, features a plastic housing and a standard M8 connector. It operates within a 12-24VDC voltage range and offers a sensing distance of 4mm, making it suitable for a variety of machine control and monitoring applications.

Technical details

• Series: XS Series
• Sensor Type: Inductive Proximity Sensor
• Housing Material: Plastic
• Sensing Distance (Sn): 4 mm
• Operating Voltage: 12-24 VDC
• Connection Type: M8 Connector
