The Omron E2B-M18KN16-M1-C2 is an M18 threaded inductive proximity sensor with a 16 mm sensing distance, NPN-NC output, and a 400 Hz response frequency — sized for detecting metal targets in tight spaces. It runs on 10 to 30 VDC and carries an IP67 rating, so it holds up in wet or dusty environments. The unshielded design gives a slightly wider sensing field than a shielded barrel.

Product details
Frequently asked questions
What is the case size and form factor?
It's a cylindrical threaded M18 housing in nickel-plated brass, unshielded, with a connector termination.
What is the sensing distance?
Rated at 0.630 inches (16 mm) for standard metal targets.
What is the output type?
NPN normally-closed, 3-wire DC. That means the output is on when no target is present – typical for fail-safe or machine guard monitoring.
