Cylindrical nickel plated brass sensor 18mm diameter 41mm length with 2m cable

Telemecanique Sensors

Telemecanique Sensors XS218BLPBL2 Inductive Proximity Sensor 18mm Unshielded 8mm PNP NC 2m Cable IP67

SKU CH-TVR9-H4HG9

Detects metal objects up to 8 mm away using an unshielded 18 mm inductive sensor with PNP NC output, 2 m cable and IP67 protection

  • 8 mm sensing range with unshielded 18 mm housing
  • 12 to 24 V DC supply fits standard industrial rails
  • PNP normally-closed output for fail-safe logic
  • IP67 and NEMA 4X ratings resist water and dust ingress
  • Nickel-plated brass body endures -13 to 158 °F environments

Industrial proximity sensing

The Telemecanique Sensors XS218BLPBL2 is an 18 mm cylindrical inductive sensor built for machine builders and maintenance engineers who need reliable metal detection on conveyors or assembly stations. Its unshielded 8 mm sensing range suits side-approach mounting where flush installation is not possible.

Voltage and frequency limits

Operation is specified from 12 to 24 V DC with a maximum switching frequency of 250 Hz. The three-wire PNP output handles up to 100 mA load current, so the sensor cannot drive larger contactors or solenoid valves directly without an interposing relay.

Detection reach and environmental headroom

The 8 mm maximum detecting distance covers typical part-presence tasks on packaging lines while the IP67 and NEMA 4X ratings protect against wash-down and coolant ingress. Operating temperature spans -13 to 158 degrees F, giving headroom for cold-storage and heat-adjacent zones.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 8 mm unshielded version or a shielded alternative for my mounting setup?

The unshielded 8 mm sensing face requires more clearance around the barrel than a shielded model; allow extra space to avoid metal interference.

What does the 250 Hz operating frequency mean when the sensor is installed on a moving line?

At 250 Hz the sensor can reliably detect targets passing up to 250 times per second, suitable for moderate-speed conveyors.

How does the 3-wire PNP NC output with a 2 m cable connect to a 12–24 V DC supply?

Connect brown to positive, blue to negative, and black to the load; the load switches to negative when no target is present.
