The Omron E2K-X4ME1 2M is typically considered together with other sensors in the E2K-X Cylindrical Proximity Sensor family because they follow similar mounting patterns, supply ranges, and adjustment behaviour. In practice, engineers often review related models such as Omron E2K-X8ME1 2M (Capacitive, 8 mm sensing, Unshielded, DC 3-wire, NPN, NO, Pre-wired 2 M Cable), Omron E2K-X15MF1 2M (Capacitive, 15 mm sensing, Unshielded, DC 3-wire, PNP, NO, Pre-wired 2 M Cable), and Omron E2K-X15ME1 2M (Capacitive, 15 mm sensing, Unshielded, DC 3-wire, NPN, NO, Pre-wired 2 M Cable) when selecting the most suitable variant for a tank, chute, conveyor, or compact fixture location. Comparing type, usable sensing distance, mounting style, output configuration, switching mode, and connection method helps match each sensor to the available mechanical space and wiring layout. The E2K-X4ME1 2M fits naturally into panels, machine frames, dosing systems, and process equipment where a robust Omron Cylindrical Proximity Sensor is required for repeatable switching in industrial environments.
