OMRON E2EC-CR8D1 Shielded Cylindrical Proximity Sensor

The OMRON E2EC-CR8D1 (E2EC-CR8D1) is a miniature cylindrical proximity sensor engineered for high-precision metal detection in automated industrial systems. Featuring an ultra-compact shielded sensing head with a 3 mm diameter, this sensor delivers a rated sensing distance of 0.8 mm, making it well suited for space-constrained installations across compact machinery, precision assembly lines, and high-density tooling fixtures. Operating on a DC 2-wire system, it provides normally open (NO) switching behavior with integrated cable amplifier technology. Designed for seamless integration into industrial control setups alongside programmable logic controllers and automation instrumentation, the unit comes equipped with a 2 m pre-wired connection cable. Its shielded construction allows flush mounting in metallic surroundings without unintended false triggering, ensuring stable and reliable target detection. The E2EC-CR8D1 provides dependable position detection and presence sensing in demanding industrial environments where ultra-small sensor heads are required.
