Description
① Indicator lights for current and output status.

Short description
Eaton’s E56 sensors are powerful
inductive proximity sensors. The E56
Pancake provides greater sensing
ranges than other inductive sensor
package types. They are easy to
wire and feature self-configuring
complementary outputs, which
automatically detect an NPN or PNP
connection and configure the sensor
accordingly without the need for user
intervention. Indicator lights for power
and output state simplify trouble-
shooting compared to sensors with
only an output indicator.
These convenience features and their
high performance make the E56
Pancake sensors ideal for applications
in which a rugged design and a long
range are required.
Product features
• Longest measuring range on the
market – up to 100 mm.
• Three sizes for all application
scenarios; max. range 50, 70 or
100 mm.
• Complementary outputs
(1 × NC, 1 × N/O) on models with
four-wire connection.
• Models with DC voltage four-wire
connection feature an automatic
configuration function for indepen-
dent switchover between NPN and
PNP.
• Robust design featuring vibration
and impact-absorbing potting
compound.
• Ideal for extreme temperatures or
high pressure washdown environ-
ments.
