Quick-fit assessment for your BOM line
The E2E-X1R5B1D8-R 5M: Shielded M8 inductive proximity sensor from the E2E NEXT series, delivering a 1.5 mm flush-mount sensing distance with a PNP normally-open output. Rated 10-30 VDC, it switches at 2 kHz — enough for moderate-speed part detection but not sub-millisecond counting. Cable leads with IP67 and IP69K ingress protection. Stainless steel body resists corrosion. Operating temperature covers -40°C to 85°C — cold storage or hot machinery floor, no derating concern within that band.
Current production — no phase-out, no last-time-buy pressure. This is a standard catalog line from Omron. You can spec it into builds without worrying about an early EOL.
The 1.5 mm sensing distance is the rated flush distance — it will detect ferrous targets at that gap reliably. For non-ferrous metals, expect a reduction (typically 30-40% on stainless or aluminum). The shielded construction lets you mount flush in metal without false triggers. Response frequency of 2 kHz. LED indicator shows status during setup. IP69K ingress protection. M8 threaded case.
