Omron E2E-X3B1TL8-M3 is an inductive proximity sensor from the E2E NEXT series. Shielded M8 threaded cylinder, PNP normally-open output, 3 mm sensing distance on mild steel. Supply range 10 to 30 VDC, response frequency 1 kHz. Rated IP67 and IP69K for high-pressure washdown environments.
What the ratings mean for fit
3 mm shielded sensing means you mount the sensor flush in a metal bracket — no additional standoff needed for side-by-side mounting. The M8 thread is standard for machine-tool limit switches; the nickel-plated brass body holds up to coolant and chips. IP69K rating suits high-pressure washdown environments. The mating connector must also carry an IP69K rating to maintain the seal. 1 kHz response limits target speed to about 3 m/s for a 3 mm target — fine for position sensing on a tool changer or part presence, but not for high-speed shaft counting above that velocity.
