Industrial proximity sensor for metal detection
The Telemecanique Sensors XS508B1PAM8 is an inductive cylindrical sensor designed to detect metal targets at up to 1.5 mm. It operates on 12 to 24V DC and provides a 3-wire PNP normally-open output. The unit is built from 303 stainless steel with an 18-8 grade housing and carries NEMA 4X and IP67 ratings for harsh environments.
Verify voltage and wiring before installation
Confirm your control system supplies 12 to 24V DC and can accept a PNP normally-open signal with a maximum load of 200mA. The sensor connects via a 3-pin M8 connector, so ensure the matching cable or cordset is available. Operating frequency is rated at 5,000 Hz for high-speed cycling applications.
Shielded 41 mm body fits tight machine spaces
The shielded design allows flush mounting in metal brackets without interference. Its 41 mm length and M8 connector keep the profile compact for dense packaging equipment or automotive lines. The wide temperature range of -13 to 158 degrees F supports both cold-storage and high-heat process zones.

Questions about this item
Does the sensor ship with a mounting bracket or cable, or must they be purchased separately?
The unit includes the 303 stainless-steel sensor body with a 3-pin M8 connector; mounting hardware and mating cable are not included and must be sourced separately.
Should I choose the 1.5 mm shielded version or an unshielded alternative for my application?
This model is the 1.5 mm shielded variant; select it when flush mounting in metal is required, otherwise an unshielded type with longer range may suit better.
What does the 5,000 Hz operating frequency mean for detection speed on a production line?
At 5,000 Hz the sensor can reliably detect targets passing at high speed, supporting fast cyclic operation in automated machinery.
