The Schneider XS108B3PAL2 is a high-performance cylindrical inductive proximity sensor from the OsiSense XS series, designed to offer reliable detection of metallic objects without physical contact. This sensor is engineered with a robust brass body and features a compact cylindrical M8 form factor, making it suitable for a variety of general-purpose applications where space is at a premium.
With a nominal sensing distance of 2.5 mm, this sensor ensures precise and responsive detection, backed by a discrete PNP output and a 3-wire wiring technique for straightforward integration into existing systems. The XS108B3PAL2 operates within a supply voltage range of 12 to 24 V DC and includes reverse polarity protection for enhanced durability and operational safety.
The sensor is equipped with a 2-meter cable for connectivity and is rated with an IP65 and IP67 degree of protection, ensuring it can withstand harsh industrial environments and resist dust and water ingress. The front face of the sensor is made from PPS, a high-performance thermoplastic, which contributes to the sensor's resilience and longevity.
Additionally, the XS108B3PAL2 features a status LED that provides clear and immediate visual feedback on the output state, aiding in diagnostics and monitoring. Its switching frequency of up to 2500 Hz allows for fast and efficient operation, suitable for applications requiring quick response times.
This sensor is a reliable choice for a wide range of industrial sensing tasks, including but not limited to machine tool positioning, presence detection, and part counting. Its combination of compact size, robust construction, and precise detection capabilities make it a valuable component in any automated system.
