Product Description
The Omron E2EY-X8C1 2M is a high-performance inductive proximity sensor specifically designed to detect non-ferrous metals such as aluminum and brass, while ignoring ferrous metals like iron. With a sensing distance of 8 mm, it provides precise and reliable detection, making it ideal for industrial applications where distinguishing between metal types is essential. The sensor features a robust M30 cylindrical design with a shielded (flush) mounting style, allowing for easy integration into equipment while minimizing the risk of damage. Built with a nickel-plated brass housing and a heat-resistant ABS sensing face, it offers excellent durability and resistance to environmental factors. It operates on a DC voltage range of 10 to 30 V and provides an NPN open collector output with a maximum load of 100 mA. With its IP67 protection rating, the E2EY-X8C1 2M is highly resistant to dust and water, ensuring dependable performance in harsh industrial environments. This makes it particularly well-suited for use in the automotive, metalworking, and electronics industries, where accurate detection of aluminum components is critical to automated processes.
