Omron E2E-X8B218-M1 Proximity Sensor
Omron E2E-X8B218-M1 is an M18 shielded inductive proximity sensor with an 8 mm sensing distance, 0 to 6.4 mm setting distance, and short-body design. It uses a DC 3-wire PNP output with NC operation through an M12 connector and operates from 10 to 30 VDC. Ferrous metals are the specified detectable targets, with an iron 24 × 24 × 1 mm standard sensing object. Response frequency is 500 Hz, while the listed 1-output rating is 200 mA max. Supply reverse-polarity, surge, output short-circuit, and output reverse-polarity protection are specified. The E2E-X8B218-M1 belongs to M18 PNP NC proximity sensors from Omron industrial automation sensing.

The Omron E2E-X8B218-M1 Proximity Sensor uses an M18 shielded inductive sensing body with an 8 mm sensing distance, a 0 to 6.4 mm setting distance, and short-body construction. It provides a DC 3-wire PNP output with NC operation through an M12 connector and operates from 10 to 30 VDC. Ferrous metals are the specified detectable targets, paired with an iron 24 × 24 × 1 mm standard sensing object. Response frequency is 500 Hz. The supplied data lists 200 mA max. for 1-output models and 100 mA max. for 2-output models. Power-supply reverse-polarity, surge, output short-circuit, and output reverse-polarity protection are specified.
Operating and storage conditions for the E2E-X8B218-M1 extend from -40 to 85°C, while IEC 60529 IP67 and ISO 20653 are listed as environmental specifications. Nickel-plated brass, PBT, zinc-plated iron, and PVC are included among the construction materials. The shielded M18 design combines an 8 mm sensing range with PNP NC switching and compact short-body construction. Its M12 connector supports detachable field wiring during replacement or servicing. Standard I/O mode provides orange operation indication, while IO-Link communication mode also provides green communication status. For another E2E NEXT model with an M12 body, 2 mm sensing distance, NO output, and pre-wired 2 m cable, see E2E-X2B1D12 2M.
