Technical Overview
The Omron TL-N10ME1 2M is an unshielded rectangular inductive proximity sensor with a 10 mm nominal sensing distance, DC three-wire NPN output and 2 m pre-wired cable. Its normal-open output is rated for up to 200 mA at 24 VDC, and the sensor operates from 10 to 30 VDC. The sensor head measures 25 × 25.5 × 38.10 mm; the enclosure is rated IP67 and meets Omron's oil-proof internal standard. Omron listed this exact model as selling and standard-stock in its 2026-09-11 status record.

Suggested applications
Engineering suggestions require suitability checks for your installation.
1. Steel component presence detection
The sensor is rated for non-contact detection of ferrous metal at a nominal 10 mm distance.
Potential use
Position a ferrous target within the 0 to 8 mm setting distance and verify the response with the actual target size and orientation.
Ferrous metal
10 mm sensing
NPN NO
2. Machine mechanism position confirmation
An NPN normally-open output can signal when a ferrous machine part enters the sensing zone.
Potential use
Connect the sensor to a compatible 10 to 30 VDC input and maintain the specified clearance from nearby metal and adjacent sensors.
Position sensing
IP67
