Proximity Sensor for Tight Spots
The Omron E2E-X1R5F2-M1 is a shielded proximity sensor with a 1.5 mm sensing distance. It provides a normally closed PNP output in a DC 3-wire configuration, with an M12 connector for quick disconnect. This is a standard-frequency sensor from the E2E series, designed for ferrous metal detection in space-constrained applications. The NC output (normally closed) means the sensor switches on when no target is present — useful for fail-safe monitoring where loss of signal should indicate a missing object. The shielded construction allows flush mounting in metal, but required derating on sensing range when embedded.
How It Stacks Against the E2C-X1R5AH
The E2C-X1R5AH is a shielded sensor head with 1.5 mm sensing distance that requires an external amplifier. It uses a pre-wired cable connection.
