Omron E2K Capacitive Proximity Sensors
The Omron E2K Capacitive Proximity Sensors are non-contact sensing devices designed to detect objects, materials, and liquids independent of color or surface properties. This series is positioned within Omron’s capacitive sensing portfolio and is engineered for stable detection in industrial automation environments. The E2K range includes long-distance, flat, cylindrical, chemical-resistant, and liquid level sensor variants to support diverse application requirements. These sensors are manufactured by Omron and classified under Omron Proximity Sensors used in factory automation systems.
The Omron E2K Series Capacitive Proximity Sensors are designed to address multiple industrial sensing challenges through specialized sub-series. The E2K-C long-distance capacitive sensors feature adjustable sensitivity and noise-resistant models for stable operation in electrically noisy environments. The Omron Flat Capacitive Sensor E2K-F offers a slim 10 mm profile with direct mounting on metal surfaces, making it suitable for space-constrained installations. The E2KQ-X chemical-resistant sensors use a fluororesin-coated housing to withstand exposure to chemicals and oils while allowing sensitivity adjustment based on target materials. The E2K-X cylindrical capacitive sensors provide fixed sensing distances in M12, M18, and M30 threaded formats, eliminating adjustment requirements. The E2K-L liquid level sensors enable reliable detection through pipes, unaffected by liquid or pipe color, supporting a wide range of pipe diameters with built-in amplifiers for compact system integration.
