The nickel-plated iron washer material further enhances the sensor’s resistance to environmental factors, ensuring reliable operation in demanding conditions. The PBT sensing side material guarantees superior performance while maintaining optimum sensitivity levels. With its IP67 ingress protection rating, this sensor is well-suited for use in harsh and challenging industrial environments, providing reliable performance even in the presence of dust, moisture, and other contaminants. The operation indicator, featuring a vibrant red LED, allows for quick and easy visual confirmation of the sensor’s status.

Connection: Streamlined Connectivity for Seamless Integration

The PRL18-5DP sensor features a cable type connection, enabling hassle-free installation and integration into your existing systems. The PVC cable material ensures secure and reliable connections, minimizing the risk of signal loss or interruption.

Sensing Specifications: Unparalleled Precision and Sensitivity

The inductive proximity detector features a sensing side diameter of 18 mm, enabling precise detection capabilities. This sensor excels in detecting its standard sensing target, an18x18x1 mm piece of iron, with a maximum detection distance of 5 mm. It’s important to note that the sensing distance may vary depending on the material, size, and other factors of the target.

While the setting distance of an inductive sensor is often overlooked, it holds significant importance. Regardless of ambient temperature, voltage fluctuations, or other external factors, every sensor has a specified range in which it can reliably detect its standard sensing target. For this proximity sensor, the setting distance ranges from 0 to 3.5 mm.

Control Output: Versatile and Customizable Operation

The PRL18-5DP is equipped with a PNP NO (Normally Open) control output, offering flexible control options for your specific application requirements. This control output configuration enables seamless integration with a wide range of control systems and equipment.

Temperature: Adaptability in Extreme Environments

The PRL18-5DP sensor is designed to operate flawlessly in a wide temperature range, from -25°C to 70°C, making it suitable for both hot and cold environments. With a storage temperature range of -30°C to 80°C, this sensor ensures reliable performance even during prolonged periods of non-operation. 

Industries/Applications: Versatility for Various Fields

The Autonics PRL18-5DP inductive sensor finds extensive utility across a broad spectrum of industries, including manufacturing, automation, automotive, packaging, and more. Use it for object detection, position sensing, automation control, and other applications that require precise and reliable sensing.

Incorporating the Autonics PRL18-5DP inductive sensor into your operations unlocks a new level of accuracy, efficiency, and control. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to optimize your sensing applications and elevate your productivity.
