The Autonics PRL18-5DP is a long-body cylindrical inductive proximity sensor (PRL series) designed for flush (shielded) mounting and non-contact metal object detection. It has a 5 mm sensing distance and a normally open (NO) PNP output configuration.
Key Specifications:
Sensor Type: Inductive
Mounting: Flush (Shielded/Embedded)
Sensor Side Diameter: Ø18 mm (M18 thread)
Sensor Spacing: 5 mm
Standard Sensor Target: 18 x 18 x 1 mm metal plate
Output Configuration: PNP Normally Open (NO)
Wiring Type & Power: 3-wire DC type, 12-24 VDC (operating range 10-30 VDC)
Response Frequency: 500 Hz
Protection Circuit: Internal surge protection, output short-circuit protection, and reverse polarity protection
IP Rating: IP67 (IEC standard), which means it is protected against dust and the effects of temporary immersion in water
Material: Nickel-plated brass casing/nut, PBT sensor surface
Indicator: Red LED operation indicator
Feature Description:
Flush Mounting: The sensor can be mounted embedded in a metal surface, which protects the sensor surface from impact and external interference.
High Noise Resistance: The PR Series enhances its superior noise resistance characteristics through the use of a dedicated integrated circuit (IC).
Durability: The rugged nickel-plated brass casing provides a long life cycle and reliable operation in industrial environments.
Long Body Design: The "L" in the model name (PRL) indicates a long body design, which may be preferred for certain mounting configurations.
Wide Range of Applications: This standard cylindrical inductive sensor can be used in a variety of applications requiring contactless metal object detection, such as position detection, counting, or boundary sensing in automation processes.
