The Omron E3C-S50 2M is a compact, high-speed photoelectric sensor designed for precision detection in space-constrained industrial environments. This model uses a through-beam sensing method with a dedicated emitter and receiver, capable of reliably detecting opaque objects as small as 3 mm in diameter. With a sensing range of up to 500 mm and an infrared LED light source (950 nm), the sensor delivers stable performance even in challenging lighting conditions, including up to 10,000 lx of sunlight or 3,000 lx from incandescent lamps.
Built for indoor use, the E3C-S50 2M features a separate amplifier configuration, allowing for compact mounting directly on machinery or brackets. Its lightweight housing is made of durable ABS and acrylic materials and is sealed to an IP64 protection rating, offering resistance against dust and light splashes. The sensor connects via a 2-meter pre-wired cable, enabling simple and secure integration into existing control systems or automation panels.
The unit supports a wide ambient temperature range from β25Β°C to 70Β°C and humidity levels from 35% to 85%, making it suitable for diverse environments such as refrigerated facilities, heated equipment enclosures, and clean assembly areas. With excellent durability, the sensor withstands vibration from 10 to 55 Hz (1.5-mm double amplitude) for two hours in each axis and survives shocks up to 500 m/sΒ² across all directions. These features ensure long-term reliability, even in high-vibration or impact-prone installations.
For electrical safety, the Omron E3C-S50 2M includes insulation resistance of 20 MΞ© at 500 VDC and dielectric strength of 500 VAC at 50/60 Hz for 1 minute. These ratings help prevent electrical failure during voltage spikes or power surges. Compact, fast, and robust, the E3C-S50 2M is widely used in parts detection, edge sensing, feeder systems, and compact pick-and-place machines where traditional sensors may not fit or respond fast enough. With its separate amplifier design and reliable infrared through-beam technology, it delivers Omron's trusted performance in a miniature form factor.
