Weld Immune Proximity Sensor M30, DC 2 wire, Normally Open, Flush – PRAT30-10DO

Autonics proximity sensor M30, NO PRAT30-10DO

Shield (flush), Cable type connection, 10 mm Sensing distance

The Autonics proximity sensor PRAT30-10DO 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 10mm, sensing side diameter and housing size of m30 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:

• 30 mm sensing side diameter

• Normally Open control output

• 10 mm sensing distance

• Shield (flush) installation

• Reverse surge, and over-current protection

• IP67 ingress protection structure according to IEC standards

• Red LED status indicator

• Replacer for spatter-resistance type limit switch.

Body

This Autonics proximity sensor’s case and nut parts are made of Brass (teflon coated).

The PRAT30-10DO features IP67 ingress protection.

The red LED on its body acts as the process indicator.

Connection

The Autonics proximity sensor PRAT30-10DO features standard cable type connection. This black 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 30 mm. The maximum distance that this Autonics PR Series sensor can detect its standard sensing target, which is an 30x30x1 mm piece of iron, is 10 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 7 mm for this proximity sensor.

Control output

The PRAT30-10DO features Normally Open control output.
