Omron E2E-X1R5C18 2M Proximity Sensor
Omron E2E-X1R5C18 2M combines a compact M8 body with shielded inductive sensing for a 1.5 mm detection distance and 0 to 1.2 mm setting range. The short-body sensor uses DC 3-wire NPN NO output through a pre-wired 2 m cable and works from 10 to 30 VDC. Ferrous metal is the specified target, with an iron 8 × 8 × 1 mm standard sensing object. Response frequency reaches 2,000 Hz, and one-output models are rated up to 200 mA. Reverse-polarity, surge, output short-circuit, and output reverse-polarity protection are included. The E2E-X1R5C18 2M is listed under NPN proximity sensors from Omron industrial automation products.

The Omron E2E-X1R5C18 2M Proximity Sensor uses an M8 shielded inductive sensing body with a 1.5 mm sensing distance, 0 to 1.2 mm setting distance, and short-body construction. It provides DC 3-wire NPN NO output through a pre-wired 2 m cable and operates from 10 to 30 VDC. Ferrous metal is the specified target, paired with an iron 8 × 8 × 1 mm standard sensing object. Response frequency is 2,000 Hz, while one-output models support up to 200 mA. Power-supply reverse polarity, surge suppression, output short-circuit, and output reverse-polarity protection are specified. Its compact format and high response frequency suit Omron M8 NPN proximity sensor applications requiring fast target detection.
Operating and storage temperature for the E2E-X1R5C18 extends from -40 to 85°C. Environmental protection includes IEC 60529 IP67 and ISO 20653. Stainless SUS303, PBT, nickel-plated brass, zinc-plated iron, and PVC are listed among the construction materials. Shielded sensing supports installation close to surrounding metal, while the 1.5 mm detection distance suits precise short-range sensing. Standard I/O mode uses orange operation indication, while IO-Link communication mode also uses a blinking green communication indicator. For another E2E NEXT model with an M18 body, 8 mm sensing distance, PNP output, and dual NO+NC switching, see E2E-X8B3D18-M1.
