The Omron E2E-X23C130 2M Inductive Proximity Sensor is developed for industrial environments where reliable metal detection is required under continuous operating conditions. With a 23 mm sensing distance and NPN normally open output, this sensor supports automation systems that depend on accurate object presence verification and position monitoring.
Technical Description
The Omron E2E-X23C130 2M Inductive Proximity Sensor belongs to the E2E NEXT family, designed to improve sensing stability and durability in manufacturing applications. The M30 threaded housing allows secure installation, while the integrated 2-meter cable provides a direct wiring solution for industrial control panels and field devices.
Its shielded sensing design enables installation within metallic machine structures while maintaining predictable sensing performance. The nickel-plated brass housing offers mechanical protection against vibration and routine industrial exposure.
Operating Principle
The sensor generates a high-frequency electromagnetic field from its sensing surface. When a metallic target enters the sensing zone, eddy currents are induced in the target material. These currents absorb energy from the field, causing a detectable change within the oscillator circuit.
The internal electronics convert this change into a switching signal, allowing the Omron E2E-X23C130 2M Inductive Proximity Sensor to communicate object presence to PLCs, controllers, and automation equipment without mechanical contact.
