The Autonics PRCMT12-2DO Cylindrical Inductive Proximity Sensor offers 2mm sensing distance in a durable M12 flush-type housing, designed to detect 12Γ12Γ1mm iron targets with high precision. Operating on a DC 2-wire 12β24V supply, it features a Normally Open control output and supports systems that require compact sensing with minimal wiring complexity. With a low leakage current of just 0.6mA and residual voltage under 3.5V, the sensor ensures stable signal output. It is designed for fast detection applications with a 1.5kHz response frequency, outperforming many standard sensors in speed-critical operations. Built with nickel-plated brass housing and polybutylene terephthalate sensing face, the unit offers IP67-rated protection against dust, water, and industrial oil. It performs efficiently across temperatures from -25Β°C to 70Β°C and humidity levels up to 95% RH. Its compact body weighs only 38g, and the connector is fitted with oil-resistant PVC insulation to suit harsh working environments.
The PRCMT12-2DO is commonly deployed in metal object presence sensing, rotating part detection, and PLC panel integration within packaging, material handling, and small machinery control systems. Its 2-wire configuration makes it easy for junior technicians to connect without complex wiring logic, while senior automation engineers appreciate its high-speed performance, compactness, and reliability under voltage drops. Whether itβs for new industrial projects or space-limited retrofits, this Autonics sensor supports dependable sensing and fast reaction without compromising quality.
