Description
Autonics proximity sensor M18, NPN NC PRL18-8DN2
Non-shield (non-flush), Cable type connection, 8 mm Sensing distance
The Autonics proximity sensor PRL18-8DN2 features outstanding noise protection and stable sensing performance due to its specialized sensor IC developed by Autonics. This NPN proximity switch in a round cylindrical shape, sensing distance of 8mm, sensing side diameter and housing size of m18 and Non-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:
- 18 mm sensing side diameter
- NPN Normally Closed control output
- 8 mm sensing distance
- Non-shield (non-flush) installation
- Improved noise resistance
- Long life cycle and reliable 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 nickel-plated brass, its sensing side is made of PBT, and its washer is nickel plated iron made.
The PRL18-8DN2 features IP67 ingress protection.
The red LED on its body acts as the process indicator.
Connection
The Autonics NPN proximity switch PRL18-8DN2 features standard cable type connection. This black cable covers the sensor's 3 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 18 mm. The maximum distance that this sensor can detect its standard sensing target, which is an 25x25x1 mm piece of iron, is 8 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 Autonics PR Series 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 5.6 mm for this proximity sensor.
Control output
The PRL18-8DN2 features NPN Normally Closed control output. NPN stands for Negative-Positive-Negative transistors.
