Description
Autonics proximity sensor M18, PNP NC PRW18-8DP2
Non-shield (non-flush), Standard connector, 8 mm Sensing distance
The Autonics proximity sensor PRW18-8DP2 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 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
- PNP Normally Closed control output
- 8 mm sensing distance
- Non-shield (non-flush) installation
- 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 PRW18-8DP2 features IP67 ingress protection.
The red LED on this Autonics PR Series sensor's body acts as the process indicator.
Connection
The Autonics proximity sensor PRW18-8DP2 features standard cable type connection. This black cable covers the sensor's 3 wires. It is 5 mm in diameter 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 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 PRW18-8DP2 features PNP Normally Closed control output. PNP stands for Positive-Negative-Positive transistors.
