E2E-C03SR8-WC-B1 2M

Omron Automation and Safety
Inductive Proximity Sensor 0.032" (0.8mm) IP67 Cylinder
Active19 in stock

Overview

The E2E-C03SR8-WC-B1 is an ultra-small 3mm diameter inductive proximity sensor designed for high-precision metallic object detection in space-constrained industrial environments. It features a PNP normally open output and a shielded housing that allows for flush mounting into metal machinery. With a high 5kHz response frequency, it is optimized for high-speed counting and position sensing applications.

Why Choose This Part

The sensor's miniature 3mm stainless steel body provides IP67 ingress protection and high durability without sacrificing performance. Integrated protection circuits including load short-circuit and reverse polarity protection ensure system reliability against common wiring errors. Its high response frequency of 5kHz makes it significantly faster than standard-sized inductive sensors.

Applications

Micro-Robotics End Effectors
Used for precise part detection and positioning within small-scale robotic grippers.
High-Speed Gear Teeth Counting
Utilizes the 5kHz switching frequency to monitor rotational speed of small gears in automated machinery.
Electronic Assembly Verification
Detects the presence or absence of small metal components on assembly lines where space is at a premium.
CNC Machine Tool Indexing
Provides non-contact limit and home position sensing for compact linear actuators and tool changers.

Getting Started

Connect the 3-wire cable to a 10V to 30V DC power source, ensuring the PNP load is connected between the black output wire and the negative rail. Mount the sensor using a 3mm clamping bracket or by drilling a precision hole for flush mounting, ensuring the target material is within the 0.8mm sensing range. A built-in indicator LED allows for quick verification of the output state during installation.
