Omron Corporation E2EX2E1M1 Inductive Proximity Sensor

The Omron E2E-X2E1-M1 shielded inductive proximity switch is a non-contact sensor designed to detect ferrous metal objects in industrial automation, providing reliable position sensing with no physical wear. Commonly installed on conveyors, packaging machinery, assembly equipment, material handling systems, and machine tools to replace worn mechanical limit switches, it features a 2 mm sensing distance in a compact M8 threaded cylindrical housing, DC 3-Wire NPN normally open output (E1), and a 10–30 VDC supply with a maximum load current of 200 mA. The unit supports up to 2 kHz response, uses an M12 4-pin connector (M1), and carries IP67 protection with a nickel-plated brass housing, enabling operation from −25°C to +70°C. This sensor is well-suited for machine control and automation upgrades in factory settings that require dependable non-contact metal detection and presence detection of ferrous objects.
