Omron Threaded Barrel Inductive Proximity Sensor M8 x 1, NPN Output, 30 V DC, 16mA Switching Current, 2 mm E2E-X2C18-M1

Omron E2E-X2C18-M1 is a high-performance Threaded Barrel Inductive Proximity Sensor designed for industrial automation applications requiring precise and reliable detection. Featuring an M8 x 1 thread size and a compact length of 37.8 mm, this sensor offers seamless flush mounting integration. Its NPN output type supports switching currents up to 16 mA at a maximum voltage of 30 V DC, enabling efficient signal processing.

The sensor’s brass housing construction ensures mechanical robustness while providing excellent resistance to harsh environments. With an IP67, IP69K, and IP67G ingress protection rating, it is suitable for use in dusty, wet, and even pressure-wash industrial settings. The shielded sensor design minimizes interference from external metallic objects, enhancing detection accuracy.

Capable of detecting materials such as carbon fibre reinforced polymer, aluminium, and steel, the E2E-X2C18-M1 achieves a maximum detection distance of 2 mm, ideal for precise object presence sensing on production lines or machinery. It supports operation across a broad temperature range from -25°C to 70°C, making it adaptable for diverse environmental conditions encountered in manufacturing, automation, packaging, and conveyor systems.

The 4-pin terminal configuration provides secure electrical connectivity facilitating straightforward installation and maintenance. The sensor is part of Omron’s E2E-NEXT series, known for enhanced oil resistance in cables and simple sensor replacements using the "e-jig" mounting sleeve tool, reducing downtime.
