8 mm Inductive Proximity Sensor
The Telemecanique Sensors XS608B1NAL2 is a cylindrical inductive proximity sensor designed for industrial automation. It detects metal objects at a maximum distance of 2.5 mm using a shielded sensing face. The unit operates on a 12 to 48V DC supply and provides a 3-wire NPN normally open output. It suits machine builders and maintenance engineers needing reliable presence detection.
Flush mounting with pre-wired cable
The shielded construction allows flush installation in metal brackets without interference from surrounding material. A 2 m integral cable eliminates the need for separate connectors and reduces wiring time. The nickel-plated brass housing withstands mechanical stress during mounting. The 2.5 mm sensing range requires precise alignment to the target for consistent switching.
2.5 mm range limits application scope
The short detecting distance restricts use to applications where the sensor can be positioned very close to the target. The 2,500 Hz switching frequency supports high-speed counting but the 200 mA load capacity limits direct control of larger actuators. The IP67 and NEMA 4X ratings protect against water and dust ingress in harsh environments. The operating range of -13 to 158 degrees Fahrenheit covers most indoor and outdoor industrial settings.

Questions about this item
How do I verify the sensor is operating correctly after wiring it to a 12 to 48V DC supply?
Apply power within the 12 to 48V DC range and bring a metal target within 2.5 mm of the 8 mm shielded face. The NPN output should switch at 2,500 Hz maximum frequency, confirming detection.
What comes in the box and what must I source separately for the XS608B1NAL2?
The sensor ships with its integral 2 m cable already attached. You will need to provide a 12 to 48V DC power supply and any mounting hardware such as brackets or nuts for the M8 threaded barrel.
Which output type and cable length should I choose for a 200 mA load at 51 mm overall length?
This model is the 3-wire NPN normally-open version with a fixed 2 m cable and 51 mm body length. Select it when your controller requires an NPN sinking signal and the 2 m cable reaches your wiring point.
