The Autonics PRD18-14DP delivers a 14mm sensing distance using a standard 40Γ40Γ1mm iron target, offering reliable long-range object detection in rugged automation setups. Housed in a durable nickel-plated brass M18 body, this non-shielded (non-flush) type sensor supports PNP Normally Open output, making it ideal for integration with most digital control systems and PLCs. It operates on a DC 3-wire 12β24VDC supply and has a maximum current consumption of 10mA, ensuring energy efficiency in continuous-use environments. With a residual voltage below 1.5V and a response frequency of 200Hz, the sensor delivers fast, clean signals even under variable conditions. It functions reliably between β25Β°C and 70Β°C and maintains performance in up to 95% relative humidity, protected by a rugged IP67-rated housing that prevents dust ingress and resists temporary water immersion.
With its standard body length and cable design, the PRD18-14DP is easy to install across various panels, machines, and production lines. The non-flush mounting provides better sensing depth without being affected by nearby metal surfaces, which makes it especially valuable in compact machinery or metal-heavy environments. Engineers value this model for its low maintenance needs and high accuracy, particularly when deployed in demanding conditions with electrical noise, vibration, or temperature shifts. Its build quality and performance consistency make it a dependable component for long-term automation reliability.
The Autonics PRD18-14DP Long-Distance Inductive Sensor is widely applied in automated conveyors, robotic work cells, packaging machines, automotive production lines, elevators, and tool monitoring systems. It ensures precise ferrous object detection without physical contact, helping avoid mechanical wear and reducing maintenance frequency. Maintenance engineers prefer it for its easy PNP wiring and consistent triggering, while system integrators rely on its responsiveness in process-critical systems.
