What the ratings mean for fit
The E2E-X40MD1L30-TR 5M: M30 unshielded proximity sensor with 40 mm sensing range — that’s the extended version of this body size, so you pick up targets farther from the face than a standard M30. The 2-wire DC interface simplifies wiring: just two conductors, no separate load resistor needed. IP69K rating means it survives hot-pressure washdown cycles typical in food, beverage, and pharmaceutical lines. Combined with IP67G (guarded against oil) and standard IP67, this sensor handles environments where cheaper units will fail after a few wash cycles. The 5 m PVC robot cable is bend-resistant and rated for flexing — you can run it through cable tracks or continuous-motion applications without worrying about conductor breakage. Nickel-plated brass housing holds up to corrosive washdown chemicals. Supply voltage 10 to 30 VDC, NO output, long body: fits standard M30 mounting hole, overall length 82.3 mm, threaded length 50 mm. PBT sensing face is non-metallic and doesn’t reduce range.
