Omron TL-W20ME2 2M Flat Inductive Proximity Sensor

BrandOmron
Model IdentifierTL-W20ME2 2M
Official Part NumberTL-W20ME2 2M

Technical Overview

The Omron TL-W20ME2 2M is a unshielded flat inductive proximity sensor with NPN output and NC switching. It detects ferrous metal at 20 mm ±10% with a 40 Hz min. response and uses a 2 m pre-wired cable; supply is 12–24 VDC nominal. Its IP67 enclosure is oil-resistant to Omron's in-house standard, with the operating limit reduced to 40 °C for oil-required environments; current supply status is recorded as Unknown.

A NPN flat inductive proximity with a rated sensing range of 20 mm ±10%.

Suggested applications

Engineering suggestions require suitability checks for your installation.

1. Metal target position confirmation

A machine fixture may need to confirm that a ferrous workpiece has reached a defined position.

Potential use

Mount the unshielded sensor at or within its 0–16 mm set distance, then validate the actual target material, size and NC controller logic.

20 mm ±10% NPN NC IP67

2. Conveyor or actuator end-position sensing

A compact automation station may need a rugged proximity signal for metal parts moving through an oily or washdown area.

Potential use

Connect the 2 m cable to a compatible NPN input and observe the 100 mA max. at 12 VDC; 200 mA max. at 24 VDC output rating and oil-service temperature limit.
