Omron E2E-X8MC18-M1 Proximity Sensor
Omron E2E-X8MC18-M1 uses an M8 unshielded short-body design with 8 mm sensing and DC 3-wire NPN normally open switching. Its setting range extends from 0 to 6.4 mm, while an M12 connector supports removable cable wiring. The sensor operates from 10 to 30 VDC with a 500 Hz response frequency. The compact M8 threaded body with a larger removable connector provides an option where mounting space and cable serviceability are both important. The E2E-X8MC18-M1 forms part of the E2E NEXT Series, while related NPN options can be explored through the broader M8 NPN proximity sensor range offered across products from Omron Industrial Sensing Products for automation use.

The Omron E2E-X8MC18-M1 Proximity Sensor uses an M8 unshielded short-body housing with 8 mm sensing and a setting range from 0 to 6.4 mm. DC 3-wire NPN output operates as normally open through an M12 connector. The sensor accepts 10 to 30 VDC and supports a 500 Hz response frequency. Ferrous metals are specified using an iron 24 × 24 × 1 mm standard object. Rated output current is 50 mA max. Supply reverse polarity, output reverse polarity, surge suppression, and output short-circuit protection are included. Stainless steel, PBT, nickel-plated brass, zinc-plated iron, and PVC are listed among the material details. Orange and green indicators provide operation and communication status.
For an Omron M8 proximity sensor requiring unshielded 8 mm sensing, NPN NO switching, compact mounting, and removable M12 wiring, the applicable model is the E2E-X8MC18-M1. Operating and storage temperatures extend from -25 to 70°C, while IEC 60529 IP67 and ISO 20653 are specified. The same format also suits Omron NPN proximity sensor, Omron M12 connector proximity sensor, and Omron 8 mm proximity sensor requirements. For a related M8 NPN NO version using an M8 3-pin connector, see E2E-X8MC18-M5.
