OMRON E2E-X4B212-M1 Sensor inductivo de proximidad, M12, NPN NO, 4 mm, cable de 2 m 694062

Detecting the presence of ferrous metal objects in automated machinery often requires a sensor that can withstand harsh industrial environments while providing reliable switching. The OMRON E2E-X4B212-M1 inductive proximity sensor addresses this need with a robust nickel-plated brass housing and a flush (shielded) mounting design, allowing it to be embedded in metal without sacrificing sensing performance.

Who is it for

This sensor is intended for industrial automation engineers, machine builders, and maintenance technicians who need a durable, high-precision sensor for position detection, counting, or presence sensing in manufacturing lines, packaging equipment, or metalworking machinery.

Main features

• Inductive sensing method detects ferrous metals at a distance of 4 mm
• NPN normally open output for direct connection to PLC inputs or relays
• M12 cylindrical housing with nickel-plated brass body for corrosion resistance
• Flush (shielded) mounting allows installation flush with metal surfaces
• Pre-wired with 2-meter PVC cable for flexible installation
• Operation indicator (red LED) provides visual status of output
• Wide operating voltage range from 10 to 30 VDC
• Switching capacity up to 200 mA
• Response frequency of 1.2 kHz for high-speed detection
• Ambient operating temperature range of -25 to 70 °C

Tips

When installing, ensure the sensing face is not obstructed by non-target metals. For flush mounting, the sensor can be embedded in metal up to the sensing face, but avoid excessive tightening torque on the housing. The LED indicator helps during alignment and troubleshooting.
