Industrial inductive sensor for metal detection
The Telemecanique Sensors XS512B1PAL2 is a cylindrical inductive proximity sensor built for machine-shop and automation environments. It detects metal targets at up to 2 mm using a shielded 12 mm barrel. A three-wire PNP normally-open output switches loads up to 200 mA on a 12 to 24 V DC supply. The 5 000 Hz operating frequency supports fast cycling on conveyors or tooling.
Sealed housing handles heat and wash-down
The nickel-plated brass case carries IP68 and IP69K ratings plus NEMA 4X, so the sensor survives immersion and high-pressure cleaning. Operating temperature spans -13 to 158 degrees F, covering cold storage and hot-process zones. The 2 m cable is factory-fitted, removing a connector that could leak or loosen under vibration.
Compact 35 mm body fits tight brackets
At 35 mm overall length the sensor mounts in shallow cut-outs or through standard 12 mm holes without protruding far into the work envelope. The shielded face allows flush mounting in metal brackets without affecting the 2 mm sensing range. Nickel-plated brass resists coolant and cutting-oil corrosion, reducing replacement intervals on CNC machines and stamping presses.

Questions about this item
How do I install the 12mm shielded sensor with the 2m cable, and what is the common wiring mistake?
Mount the nickel-plated brass barrel in a 12mm cut-out, connect the brown wire to 12-24V DC, blue to 0V, and black to the load; the error is reversing the brown and blue wires on a PNP output.
What maintenance or replacement will the IP68 IP69K sensor need later?
The sealed 35mm body needs no internal service; wipe the sensing face if debris builds up, and replace the unit only if the 200mA output fails or the cable jacket is damaged.
What limit appears first during continuous operation at 5000 Hz?
The 200mA maximum load current is reached before the -13 to 158°F temperature range becomes a constraint.
