Omron E2A Proximity Sensor
The Omron E2A Proximity Sensor is a cylindrical inductive sensing solution designed for consistent metal detection in demanding industrial environments. This series is positioned within Omron’s proximity sensor portfolio and is engineered for long-term daily operation with stable performance. Featuring a modular design concept, the E2A series supports a wide portfolio of sensing variants to meet diverse installation and application requirements. The sensors are manufactured by Omron under the Omron Proximity Sensors category, ensuring standardized quality, durability, and global industrial acceptance.
The Omron E2A Cylindrical Proximity Sensors are engineered for extra-long service life using a specialized manufacturing process that ensures consistently high quality across the series. The range includes Omron M8 Proximity Sensor, Omron M12 Proximity Sensor, Omron M18 Proximity Sensor, and Omron M30 Proximity Sensor variants, supporting different mounting sizes and installation requirements. Electrically, the series is available in both DC 3-wire and DC 2-wire models, with output options covering Omron PNP Proximity Sensor and Omron NPN Proximity Sensor types, along with normally open (NO), normally closed (NC), and antivalent (NO+NC) configurations. With sensing distances of up to 30 mm, the E2A series delivers reliable metal detection for industrial automation applications. Robust stainless steel and brass housings combined with IP67 and IP69K protection make these sensors suitable for wet, washdown, and harsh environments. Connection flexibility is provided through M8 and M12 connectors and pre-wired versions with varied cable materials, diameters, and cable-end connectors, enabling seamless integration into machinery, conveyors, and production systems.
