Omron E2E-X8B2L18-M1 Proximity Sensor
Omron E2E-X8B2L18-M1 features an M18 shielded long-body format with 8 mm sensing and DC 3-wire PNP normally closed switching. Its setting range covers 0 to 6.4 mm, and an M12 connector supports removable wiring. The sensor works from 10 to 30 VDC with a 500 Hz response frequency. The shielded threaded body provides an 8 mm sensing option where long-body mounting and connector access are required. The E2E-X8B2L18-M1 is part of the E2E NEXT Series, while other normally closed versions can be explored through the broader M18 PNP proximity sensor range offered among industrial products from Omron Industrial Sensing Products for automation use.

The Omron E2E-X8B2L18-M1 Proximity Sensor uses an M18 shielded long-body housing with 8 mm sensing and a 0 to 6.4 mm setting range. Its DC 3-wire PNP output provides normally closed switching through an M12 connector. The sensor operates from 10 to 30 VDC at a 500 Hz response frequency. Ferrous metals are specified using an iron 24 × 24 × 1 mm standard object. Current is rated at 200 mA max. for 1-output operation and 100 mA max. for the listed 2-output mode. Supply reverse polarity, output reverse polarity, surge suppression, and output short-circuit protection are included. Nickel-plated brass, PBT, zinc-plated iron, and PVC are specified among the material details. Orange and green indicators provide operation and communication status.
For an Omron M18 proximity sensor requiring shielded 8 mm sensing, PNP NC switching, extended threaded mounting, and an M12 connector, the relevant model is the E2E-X8B2L18-M1. Operating and storage temperatures extend from -40 to 85°C, while IEC 60529 IP67 and ISO 20653 are listed. The same mechanical format is relevant to Omron PNP proximity sensor, Omron 8 mm proximity sensor, and Omron M12 connector proximity sensor requirements. For a related M18 shielded long-body model with the same 8 mm sensing distance but PNP NO output, see E2E-X8B1DL18-M1.
