Overview

The E2EW-X2B112 2M is a premium inductive proximity sensor designed for metal detection in harsh industrial environments. It features a shielded M12 stainless steel cylindrical body and provides a PNP-NO (Normally Open) output with a 2mm sensing range. This 3-wire sensor is optimized for long-term reliability with an IP67 rating and a wide 10V to 30V supply voltage range.

Why Choose This Part

The sensor is housed in a rugged stainless steel body with IP67 ingress protection, making it highly resistant to washdown and industrial fluids. It supports a stable 100Hz response frequency and operates reliably across a wide temperature range of 0 to 85 degrees Celsius.

Applications

Metal Part Detection
Accurate sensing of ferrous metal components on automated assembly lines and conveyor systems.
Robotic End-Effectors
Integrating into robot grippers to confirm the presence and positioning of metallic workpieces.
Machine Tool Monitoring
Detecting the position of moving mechanical parts in CNC machinery where exposure to lubricants or coolants is common.
