The Cutler-Hammer
from Eaton’s electrical business is a
high performance inductive proxim-
ity sensor. The E56 Pancake provides
greater sensing ranges than other
inductive sensor package types.
The E56 Pancake family provides
convenience and ease of wiring with
auto-configurable, complementary
outputs. (Auto-configurable outputs
automatically detect an NPN or PNP
output configuration and switch the
sensor accordingly, without user
intervention.) Power and output
LEDs make troubleshooting much
easier than conventional proximity
sensors, which usually only feature
output LEDs. These convenience
features, combined with the
performance of the E56 Pancake,
make it an excellent inductive
sensing solution for applications
requiring an extremely rugged, long-
range sensing solution.

Micro-Connector, Mini-Connector or
Screw Termination Wiring Options
Longest inductive sensing ranges available (up to 100 mm)
Three sizes to meet your application needs, with maximum ranges of 50, 70
or 100 mm
Complementary outputs (1 N.O. / 1 N.C.) on 4-wire DC models
