Omron TL-W5E1 2M Flat Inductive Proximity Sensor

BrandOmron
Model IdentifierTL-W5E1 2M
Official Part NumberTL-W5E1 2M

Technical Overview

The Omron TL-W5E1 2M is a shielded flat inductive proximity sensor with NPN output and NO switching. It detects ferrous metal at 5 mm ±10% with a 300 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 5 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 shielded sensor at or within its 0–4 mm set distance, then validate the actual target material, size and NO controller logic.

5 mm ±10% NPN NO 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 200 mA max. output rating and oil-service temperature limit.
