The Autonics introduces the PR30-15AC, a high-performance Cylindrical Inductive Proximity Sensor engineered for precise metal detection in rugged industrial environments. This model features a M30 sensing side and offers a reliable sensing distance of 15mm, specifically optimized for detecting standard targets like 45Γ45Γ1mm iron plates. Designed with a non-flush mounting style, it enables deeper sensing depth, making it ideal for applications involving larger or unevenly positioned components.
The PR30-15AC supports a wide AC 2-wire voltage range of 100β240VAC~, and delivers a Normally Closed control output, ensuring compatibility with legacy and high-voltage PLC systems. Safety is enhanced through its double insulation structure with 1kV dielectric strength, protecting both operator and equipment. With a low leakage current of 2.5mA and residual voltage under 10V, signal integrity remains stable in noisy conditions. Its robust nickel-plated brass housing and IP67 rating offer excellent resistance to water, oil, and dust. A response frequency of 20Hz allows for efficient operation in moderate-speed automation setups, while the wide operating range of -25Β°C to 70Β°C ensures uninterrupted functionality.
The PR30-15AC is part of the trusted Autonics Proximity Sensors range known for durability and ease of integration. To compare other proximity sensors, refer to our Autonics Proximity Sensors category. For sensor controllers and complete automation solutions, see our Autonics brand page.
