Omron E2E-X20MD2L18-T 2M Technical Description
The Omron E2E-X20MD2L18-T 2M Inductive Proximity Sensor is a cylindrical M18 inductive sensor with a 20 mm sensing distance. Designed for non-flush mounting, it incorporates Omron’s E2E NEXT sensing technology and a durable nickel-plated brass housing.
The sensor features a 2-wire DC normally closed output and includes a permanently attached 2-meter cable for straightforward integration into industrial control systems.
Working Principle
The sensing circuit continuously generates an electromagnetic field. When a metallic object enters the detection zone, induced eddy currents affect the oscillator’s characteristics. Internal electronics evaluate this change and alter the output state.
Because detection occurs without physical contact, the sensing process remains highly reliable even during repetitive machine cycles.
