Inductive Sensor M12, DC 2 wire, Normally Open – PRCMT12-4DO
DESCRIPTION
Autonics Cylindrical Inductive Proximity Sensors M12, NO – PRCMT12-4DO
Non-shield (non-flush), Standard connector, 4 mm Sensing distance
The Autonics proximity sensor PRCMT12-4DO 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 4mm, sensing side diameter and housing size of m12 and Un-Shield (non-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
- 4 mm sensing distance
- Non-shield (non-flush) installation
- Spatter-resistant type: PTFE coated for high heat resistance (prevent malfunction from welding spa
- Surge protection circuit, output short over current protection circuit, reverse polarity protection
- IP67 ingress protection structure according to IEC standards
- Red LED status indicator
Body
This Autonics sensor’s case and nut parts are made of nickel-plated brass, its sensing side is made of PBT, and its washer is nickel plated iron made.
The PRCMT12-4DO features IP67 ingress protection.
The red LED on its body acts as the process indicator.
Connection
The proximity sensor PRCMT12-4DO features standard cable type connection. This black cable covers the sensor’s 2 wires.
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 4 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 2.8 mm for this proximity sensor.
Control output
The PRCMT12-4DO features Normally Open control output.
