Full Metal Proximity Sensor M12, DC 2 wire, Normally Open, Flush – PRFT12-2DO-V
DESCRIPTION
Autonics proximity sensor M12, NO PRFT12-2DO-V
Shield (flush), Cable type connection, 2 mm Sensing distance
The Autonics PRF series proximity sensor PRFT12-2DO-V features outstanding noise protection and stable sensing performance due to its specialized sensor IC developed by Autonics. This sensor comes in a round cylindrical shape, sensing distance of 2mm, sensing side diameter and housing size of m12 and Shield (flush) installation. The standard cylindrical inductive sensor can be used in diverse applications requiring non-contact detection of metallic objects.
As a quick report, this inductive proximity sensor provides:
- 12 mm sensing side diameter
- Normally Open control output
- 2 mm sensing distance
- Shield (flush) installation
- Long life cycle and simple operations
- Reverse polarity, surge, and over-current protection
- IP67 ingress protection structure according to IEC standards
- Red LED status indicator
- Alternative to micro switches and limit switches.
Body
This Autonics proximity sensor’s case and nut parts are made of SUS303, its sensing side is made of SUS303, and its washer is SUS304 made.
The PRFT12-2DO-V features IP67 ingress protection.
The red LED on its body acts as the process indicator.
Connection
The Autonics flush proximity sensor PRFT12-2DO-V features standard cable type connection. This dark gray cable covers the sensor’s 2 wires. It is 5 mm in diameter and 2 meters in length, and is made of PVC.
Sensing specifications
This inductive sensor’s sensing side diameter is 12 mm. The maximum distance that this sensor can detect its standard sensing target, which is an 12x12x1 mm piece of iron, is 2 mm. This so-called sensing distance differs from one sensing target to another, based on their material, size, etc.
Although almost no one talks about the setting distance of an inductive sensor, it is a big deal to know this concept. Every sensor can detect its standard sensing target in a specified range, no matter what changes occur in ambient temperature, voltage fluctuations, etc. This distance, which is called the setting distance, is from 0 to 1.4 mm for this flush proximity sensor.
Control output
The PRFT12-2DO-V features Normally Open control output.
