Description

The Schneider Electric XS4P18AB120 is an OsiSense XS inductive proximity sensor designed for non-contact detection of metallic objects in industrial automation systems. The sensor delivers a 4 to 20 mA analog output through a 2-wire DC connection, allowing continuous position or distance information to be transmitted to compatible control equipment.The sensing face is manufactured from PPS, while the enclosure is made of PBT, providing good mechanical durability for everyday industrial use. With an IP67 protection rating in accordance with IEC 60529, the sensor is suitable for applications where protection against dust and temporary water immersion is required. The sensor is intended for applications requiring continuous analog measurement rather than simple switching. Its measuring range extends from 0.8 mm to 8 mm, enabling accurate detection of metallic targets in machine automation, positioning, and process monitoring systems. The XS4P18AB120 is part of the Schneider Electric OsiSense XS family and is designed for integration into industrial control systems requiring stable analog proximity sensing.
