Overview

The E2EW-X5B118 2M is a premium M18 inductive proximity sensor designed for stable detection of metal targets at a distance of 5mm. This PNP-NO shielded sensor features a rugged stainless steel body and IP67 ingress protection, making it suitable for harsh industrial environments. It operates on a standard 10V to 30V supply and includes a 2-meter cable for direct wiring into control systems.

Why Choose This Part

This sensor provides exceptional durability with its stainless steel housing and is rated for operating temperatures up to 85 degrees Celsius. The shielded design allows for flush mounting in metal surfaces without interference, while the IP67 rating ensures performance in washdown or dusty conditions.

Applications

Metal Part Detection
Reliable non-contact sensing of ferrous components on high-speed conveyor lines.
Robotic End-of-Travel
Used as a limit switch for robotic arm positioning in welding or assembly cells.
Tool Presence Monitoring
Verifying the presence of metal tooling or workpieces in CNC machining centers.
Automated Pallet Tracking
Detecting pallet location and orientation in warehouse automation systems.
