The Omron E2BS08KS01WPB12MOMI is an M8 threaded inductive proximity sensor from the E2B series, built for flush-mount installation in stainless steel surfaces. It detects ferrous targets at a 1 mm range and switches at 2 kHz, making it suitable for high-speed position sensing on compact machine elements like cam profiles, actuator end-stops, or pick-and-place grippers. The 13 mm cube body (13 x 13 x 42 mm) and M8 thread let it fit into tight panel layouts or machine frames where space is at a premium. The 2 m cable termination means no separate connector body to source — just route and terminate directly into the control cabinet or junction box.
The 1 mm sensing distance is the rated operating distance (Sn) for a standard steel target. In flush-mount configuration, the sensor face sits level with the mounting surface, so it detects only objects that come very close — useful for detecting thin cams or small actuator pins without false triggers from adjacent metal. The 2 kHz switching frequency means the sensor can detect and output a signal for targets passing at up to 2,000 events per second. That covers high-speed counting on packaging lines or spindle-speed monitoring on small machine tools. PNP normally-open output with a 200 mA load current rating drives standard PLC inputs or small relays directly. The 10–30 VDC supply range gives flexibility across 12 V and 24 V control systems common in industrial automation. IP67 protection means the sensor body and cable entry withstand dust ingress and temporary immersion in water — suitable for washdown environments in food processing or machining coolant splash, though the stainless steel housing adds corrosion resistance beyond standard nickel-plated brass.
