E2S-W23 1M Omron Proximity sensor

E2S-W23 1M Omron Proximity sensor
Key Features

• Sensing Range: Up to 2.5 mm
• Output Type: NPN / Normally Open (NO)
• Operating Voltage: 10 to 30 VDC
• Cable Length: 1 meter
• Durability: IP67 rating (waterproof and dustproof) 

How It WorksInside the sensor is a wire coil. Electricity flows through the coil to create an invisible electromagnetic field (an area of magnetic energy). When a piece of metal enters this field, it absorbs energy. The sensor feels this energy loss and triggers an electronic switch. Common Applications

• Counting items on a conveyor belt
• Checking if a machine door is closed
• Locating parts in small robotic arms
