Reliable Shielded Sensing with 8mm Range
The E2B-M18KS08-WZ-B1 features a shielded construction, which is a huge advantage in many industrial settings. What does this mean for you? It means you can mount the sensor flush into metal surfaces without worrying about interference affecting its performance. This capability is perfect for applications where space is tight or where the proximity sensor needs protection.
Furthermore, this Omron device offers a precise sensing distance of 8mm. This range is ideal for reliably detecting ferrous metal objects (like steel or iron) as they approach the sensing face. Whether you’re monitoring part presence, counting items on a conveyor, or positioning components, this proximity detector provides the consistent signals you need for smooth operation. Its focused detection ensures accuracy, minimizing false triggers.
Robust M18 Short Body Design
Durability meets convenience with the M18 short body design of this Omron proximity sensor. The industry-standard M18 threaded barrel makes mounting straightforward using common brackets or by threading directly into a compatible fixture. It’s a familiar size, simplifying integration into existing or new machine designs.
The “short body” aspect is particularly beneficial in confined spaces. Its reduced length allows for installation where standard-length sensors might not fit, offering greater design flexibility. Built by Omron, a leader in automation components, you can trust the E2B-M18KS08-WZ-B1 is constructed to withstand the rigors of industrial environments, ensuring longevity and reducing downtime. It’s a tough little switch ready for work.
Efficient PNP NO Output Configuration
This specific model, the E2B-M18KS08-WZ-B1, utilizes a PNP Normally Open (NO) output configuration. PNP outputs are widely used globally, especially with control systems like Omron PLCs and other compatible devices. In a PNP setup, the switch sources current to the load when an object is detected.
The Normally Open logic means the output is OFF when no object is within the 8mm sensing range and turns ON when a target enters the detection zone. This behavior is intuitive for many presence-sensing applications. Understanding the output type is crucial for correct wiring and seamless integration into your control logic, ensuring your automation sequences run exactly as planned with this reliable proximity sensor.

Frequently Asked Questions
The nominal sensing distance is 8mm. However, expect a tolerance of ±10%, typical for inductive proximity sensors. Environmental factors and target material can slightly influence this.
Yes, absolutely. The E2B-M18KS08-WZ-B1 is a shielded sensor, meaning it’s designed for flush mounting in metal without compromising its performance.
The PNP output is commonly used with PLCs and controllers that source current, prevalent in systems used across Europe and North America. It integrates well with many Omron controllers and similar devices requiring a sourcing input.
The cable is integrated with the M12 connector on the sensor end. While the sensor’s cable itself isn’t designed for easy replacement, you can use standard M12 extension cables if the included 2 meters isn’t sufficient for your application.
