Model: E2E-X8MD1

---

 

1. General Description

 

The Omron E2E-X8MD1 is a standard, cylindrical M18 inductive proximity sensor designed for the non-contact detection of ferrous metallic objects. It is part of Omron’s globally recognized E2E series, known for its high reliability and performance in general industrial automation applications.

This model is a DC 2-wire type, which simplifies wiring compared to 3-wire sensors. It features a robust, nickel-plated brass housing and is shielded, allowing it to be mounted flush into a metal surface without affecting its performance.

 

Key Features 🎯

 

• DC 2-Wire Operation: Simplifies wiring, requiring only two connections.
• Standard M18 Body: Industry-standard M18 threaded housing for easy and versatile mounting.
• Flush Mountable: Shielded design allows for embedding in metal without performance loss.
• High Reliability: Part of the proven E2E family, ensuring stable performance and long service life.
• 360° Indicator: A high-visibility indicator ring provides a clear view of the operational status from any angle.
