Telemecanique Sensors XS218AAMAL2 inductive proximity sensor
An 18 mm unshielded inductive sensor detects metal up to 12 mm away and runs on 24 to 240 V AC/DC through a 2 m cable
- Detects metal targets up to 12 mm away
- Operates on 24 to 240 V AC or DC supply
- IP68 and IP69K ratings resist water jets and immersion
- Unshielded 18 mm plastic body suits harsh environments
- Wide temperature range from -13 °F to 185 °F
18 mm Inductive Proximity Sensor
This inductive cylindrical proximity sensor detects metal targets up to 12 mm away without physical contact. It operates on a wide 24 to 240 V AC/DC supply and provides a normally open two-wire output for simple series wiring. The unshielded design suits flush or non-flush mounting in machinery and automation equipment.
Suits industrial automation
Engineers who need a rugged, non-contact limit switch for conveyors, guards or positioning tasks will find the IP68 and IP69K ratings survive wash-down and high-pressure cleaning. The -13 °F to 185 °F operating range handles cold storage and hot-process environments. Buyers who require an analog output, a complementary PNP/NPN signal or a faster switching frequency than 25 Hz AC should look at other sensor types.
Check supply voltage and wiring before ordering
Verify that your control circuit provides 24 to 240 V AC or DC and can supply up to 200 mA load current through the two-wire loop. Confirm the 41 mm body length and 18 mm barrel diameter fit the available mounting space. Ensure the 2 m cable reach matches the distance to your terminal strip or connector block.

Questions about this item
What power supply does the XS218AAMAL2 need to operate?
The sensor runs on 24 to 240 V AC or DC, so any supply within that range will power it.
Will the 18 mm unshielded sensor detect metal reliably when mounted beside older steel brackets?
Its unshielded 18 mm body gives a 12 mm sensing distance, but nearby ferrous brackets can reduce that range; keep the face clear.
How can I confirm the NO output is switching correctly after wiring the 2 m cable?
Bring a metal target within 12 mm; the load current should rise to 200 mA maximum, showing the normally open contact has closed.
