Omron E2B-M18LN16-M1-C1 Proximity Sensor
Omron E2B-M18LN16-M1-C1 is a cylindrical M18 unshielded inductive proximity sensor with a 16 mm sensing distance, 0 to 12.8 mm setting distance, and long-body configuration. It uses a DC 3-wire NPN output with NO operation through an M12 connector and operates from 10 to 30 VDC. Ferrous metal is specified as the detectable object, with a 48 × 48 × 1 mm standard sensing object. Response frequency is 400 Hz, while the control output is rated 200 mA max. at 30 VDC max. with a 2 V max. voltage drop. The E2B-M18LN16-M1-C1 is included among 16 mm proximity sensors available from Omron industrial sensors.

The Omron E2B-M18LN16-M1-C1 Proximity Sensor combines an M18 cylindrical unshielded inductive sensing body with a 16 mm sensing distance, 0 to 12.8 mm setting distance, and long-body construction. It uses a DC 3-wire NPN output with NO operation and an M12 connector, operating from a 10 to 30 VDC supply. Ferrous metal is the specified detectable object, with a 48 × 48 × 1 mm standard sensing object. Response frequency is 400 Hz, while the control output is rated 200 mA max. at 30 VDC max. with a 2 V max. voltage drop. A yellow operation indicator and protection against reverse polarity, surge conditions, and short circuits are specified.
Operating and storage conditions for the E2B-M18LN16-M1-C1 cover -25 to 70°C, with IP67 protection according to IEC 60529 plus EMC compliance according to EN60947-5-2. The long M18 body provides additional threaded mounting adjustment, while the unshielded construction supports the extended 16 mm sensing range. Its M12 connector enables detachable cabling during servicing or sensor replacement. NPN NO switching provides a sinking output for compatible industrial control inputs. For another NPN NO E2B sensor using an M12 body, shielded sensing, and a 4 mm detection range, see E2B-M12LS04-WP-C1 2M.
