  Applications & Usage

  This sensor is suited for tight-space installations that require fast, precise detection of small metal parts. It's commonly used in industrial automation, robotics, conveyors, and safety interlocks.

  Recommended mounting brackets: Y92E‑C2R5 (1 screw) or Y92E‑D2R5 (2 screws), included or separately ordered depending on region

Type: Flat, inductive proximity sensor (block-style form factor) with a 2 m cable and NC (Normally Closed) output configuration

Sensing Distance: 5 mm (±10%), optimized for detecting ferrous metal surfaces (performance drops with non‑ferrous metals)

Operating Voltage: DC 12–24 V (acceptable range 10–30 V), with low ripple 

Response Frequency: Up to 500 Hz (average) 

Physical Dimensions: Sensing head size: 18 × 10 × 30.5 mm; weight approx. 80 g 

Environmental Ratings: IEC IP67 protection, operating temperature range −25 °C to +70 °C, humidity 35–95% RH .

Electrical Characteristics:

• Leakage current ≤ 0.8 mA

• Residual voltage ≤ 3.3 V (at 100 mA load and 2 m cable)

• Built-in short-circuit protection and surge suppression 

Designed for use on flat surfaces, ideal where cylindrical sensors are impractical.

Typical detection for ferrous metals (≥ 18 × 18 × 1 mm), as sensitivity reduces with other materials

Common in industrial automation for machine positioning, part detection on conveyors, or workspace boundary sensing.

Omron’s Japan website lists the price at ¥3,800 (approx. ¥4,180 including tax, ~80 g, details updated August 2024) 

Proax (Canada): typical distributor listing confirms specs and compatibility within Omron TL‑W series 

The NC output logic means the sensor circuit is closed when no object is detected and opens upon detection (increased distance), which may be important depending on your control logic.

Non-ferrous materials (e.g. aluminum, brass) reduce detection range—consult datasheet if that’s relevant.

If you need variants (NO output, shielded/enclosed sensors, different cable lengths), Omron offers versions like TL‑W5MD1 (Normally Open) or shielded types in the TL‑W series
