Product Overview
The Omron E2E-X2ME1 is a small 8 mm threaded inductive proximity sensor for short-range metal detection, manufactured by Omron Corporation. Hengyixin Automation ships this sensor from our Xiamen warehouse with a 30-day DOA return window and a datasheet PDF included in the box.
The E2E-X2ME1 senses a target up to 2 mm away and switches 200 mA through an NPN transistor that pulls low when a target is present. A yellow LED on the housing lights the moment the output turns on, so commissioning is meter-free. Supply is 12 to 24 VDC; the 2 m PVC cable exits axially from the rear. The IP67 housing survives coolant splash and outdoor wash-down when mounted vertically.
Pick the E2E-X2ME1 for tight-clearance installs: small pneumatic cylinders, vibratory bowl feeders, indexing tables, and screw or bolt detection. Mount in a non-metal bracket and aim the target head-on. For a connectorized M8 variant that swaps cables without re-wiring, use the E2E-X2D1-M1; for longer 3 mm reach in M8, use the E2E-X3D1-U.
Key Features
- 8 mm threaded barrel, unshielded mount, 2 mm nominal sensing distance on flat steel
- NPN normally-open output, 200 mA switching capacity, yellow LED detection indicator
- 12 to 24 VDC supply, 2 m pre-wired 3-wire PVC cable, axial exit
- IP67 housing, -25 to +70 °C operating, matches CP1L-N / CP2E-N input polarity
- SKU: E2E-X2ME1
- Series: E2E short-barrel inductive proximity sensor
- Voltage: 12 TO 24 VDC
Best-Fit Applications
- End-of-stroke detection on a small pneumatic cylinder on a pick-and-place head
- Part detection on a vibratory bowl feeder feeding a CP1L-EM30DT-D counter input
- Index position confirmation on a rotary table driven by an R88M-K40030H-S2 servo
Buying Checklist
- Pick the E2E-X2ME1 for M8 NPN-NO with 2 m pre-wired cable (this SKU).
- Pick the E2E-X2D1-M1 instead when an M8 connector is preferred over pre-wired.
- Pick the E2E-X3D1-U for 3 mm reach in the same M8 barrel.

FAQ for E2E-X2ME1
What is the Omron E2E-X2ME1 used for?
It detects metal targets within 2 mm — small pneumatic cylinder end-of-stroke, vibratory bowl feeders, indexing tables — where a compact M8 sensor fits.
E2E-X2ME1 vs E2E-X2D1-M1 — what is the difference?
Both are M8 2 mm inductive proximity sensors with NPN output. The ME1 has a 2 m pre-wired cable; the D1-M1 has an M8 connector for swappable cables.
Does the E2E-X2ME1 work with CP1L inputs?
Yes. NPN output (sinking) pairs with CP1L-M / CP2E-N inputs wired in sourcing mode. For PNP-only PLC inputs, use an E2E-X series with the F1 suffix.
What is the maximum switching current on the E2E-X2ME1?
200 mA at 30 VDC through the NPN open-collector output.
