Telemecanique XS630B5NAL2 Inductive Proximity Sensor

The Telemecanique XS630B5NAL2 inductive proximity sensor is an M30 cylindrical sensor built for long-range, non-contact metal detection. With a nominal sensing distance of 30 mm, it offers a longer detection range than many standard M30 inductive sensors, making it useful in applications where the target position may vary or where additional mounting clearance is required.

This sensor uses a 3-wire DC configuration with an NPN normally open output. It is supplied with a 2 meter cable and operates from 12 to 48 VDC. The design is suitable for industrial machinery, mobile equipment, production automation, and metal handling systems.

Technical Overview

The Telemecanique XS630B5NAL2 has a 64 mm long M30 threaded body and a metal enclosure. Its nominal sensing distance is 30 mm, and its output function is normally open. The NPN output type is commonly used in control systems that expect sinking sensor logic. The cable connection provides a direct wiring route to junction boxes, terminal strips, or control cabinets.

Because this model is non-flush mountable, proper installation clearance around the sensing face is important. This helps preserve the intended electromagnetic field and reduces the risk of false switching from nearby metal structures.

Where It Fits Best

The Telemecanique XS630B5NAL2 is useful in machines where metal targets are larger, farther from the mounting point, or exposed to mechanical variation. It may be used for detecting moving steel plates, confirming actuator positions, monitoring equipment arms, counting metal parts, or checking the presence of components in automated handling systems.

Longer Range Benefits

The 30 mm sensing distance gives engineers more design freedom. It can help when brackets cannot be positioned close to the target, when vibration causes small alignment changes, or when a safer gap is needed between the sensor and moving metal parts. This extra range can reduce the risk of mechanical impact while maintaining reliable detection.

Practical Installation Advice

During installation, the target should be large enough for stable detection. Standard steel usually provides the best reference performance, while other metals may reduce the effective sensing distance. The cable should be secured with proper strain relief and protected from sharp edges, heat, oil exposure, and repeated bending.
