Schneider Electric XS1-12BLFAL2 Proximity Sensor

Schneider Electric XS1-12BLFAL2 is a compact inductive proximity sensor from the XS1 M12 family that detects metal targets without contact at a 2 mm nominal sensing distance. Housed in a cylindrical M12 enclosure with a nickel-plated brass body and a frontal detection face, it measures 58 mm in length and uses ISO M12 x 1 threading for mounting. The sensor provides a single discrete output (1 NO) via a 3‑wire connection and ships with a 2 m cable (AL2); it carries an IP67 rating for rugged dust and water protection in harsh industrial environments. Its design supports flush mounting and features a frontal detection zone of 0 to 1.6 mm with a differential travel of 1–15% of Sr, ensuring reliable performance amid minor target position variations. As part of the Telemechanique XS series, this XS1 model is commonly used for non‑contact metal sensing in automation, including end‑of‑travel and position sensing on conveyors and automated equipment, where a compact, robust sensor is required.
