Telemecanique Sensors XS518B1PAL2 Inductive Proximity Sensor 18 mm PNP NO
An 18 mm shielded inductive proximity sensor with a 5 mm sensing range, 12–24 V DC supply, PNP normally-open output on a 2 m cable, and IP68/IP69K protection
- Detects metal targets at 5 mm range
- PNP normally-open output simplifies PLC wiring
- IP68 and IP69K ratings withstand high-pressure washdown
- Nickel-plated brass housing resists corrosion in harsh environments
- Operates reliably from -13 °F to 158 °F
18 mm Inductive Proximity Sensor
This cylindrical inductive proximity sensor detects metal targets up to 5 mm away. It operates on 12 to 24 V DC with a three-wire PNP output that is normally open. The shielded design allows flush mounting in metal brackets. Rated IP68 and IP69K, it resists high-pressure hot-water washdown.
Maintenance and Automation Engineers
Engineers specifying sensors for food-processing, packaging or outdoor machinery will value the nickel-plated brass housing and the -13 °F to 158 °F operating range. The 2 000 Hz switching frequency supports fast production lines. Buyers who need a normally closed output or a longer sensing distance should look at something else.
5 mm Shielded Sensing Distance
The 5 mm maximum detecting distance is the single figure that determines fit. It defines the required target approach and the clear zone around the sensor face. Verify that the application can keep metal objects within this range before ordering.

Questions about this item
Should I choose the 18 mm shielded version or a different size for my mounting hole?
The 18 mm shielded body fits an 18 mm clearance hole and allows flush mounting in metal without sensing interference from the surrounding material.
What does the 5 mm detecting distance mean when the sensor is installed on a conveyor?
The sensor will reliably detect a standard steel target approaching up to 5 mm from the sensing face; non-ferrous metals reduce that range.
How does the 3-wire PNP output with a 2 m cable connect to a 24 V DC PLC input?
Connect brown to +24 V, blue to 0 V, and black to the PLC input; the 2 m cable reaches most panel entries without an extension.
