Technical Description
The Omron E2E-X11D118 5M Inductive Proximity Sensor is an M18 inductive sensor with an 11 mm sensing distance and a DC 2-wire NO output. Its quasi-flush mounting design allows integration into metal machine structures while maintaining defined sensing performance.
The sensor uses a nickel-plated brass housing and an oil-resistant PVC cable. The 5 m cable length supports installation in larger machines, transfer lines, and decentralized automation systems.
Omron E2E-X11D118 5M Operating Principle
The sensor operates by producing an electromagnetic field at the sensing surface. A metallic object entering this field changes the oscillation conditions inside the sensor circuit. The electronics process this change and switch the normally open output.
The Omron E2E-X11D118 5M Inductive Proximity Sensor is suitable for applications requiring robust metal detection without mechanical contact.
Usage Areas
- Metal carrier detection
