The Autonics PRDCM12-8DP provides a sensing range of 8mm for detecting 25Γ25Γ1mm iron targets, making it suitable for reliable object detection in compact machinery. Its non-flush M12 brass body with nickel plating ensures durability and corrosion resistance in industrial settings. Powered by a DC 3-wire type 12β24VDC supply, it delivers a PNP Normally Open output compatible with most PLC systems and controllers. With low current consumption of 10mA and residual voltage below 1.5V, the sensor offers stable signal performance with minimal power usage. The response frequency of 400Hz makes it capable of high-speed switching in rapid production lines. Designed to perform across β25Β°C to 70Β°C and high humidity up to 95% RH, the IP67 protection rating guarantees safe operation in dusty or moisture-prone environments. Its connector-based cable design enables fast and error-free wiring in tight installations.
Due to its compact size and high sensitivity, the PRDCM12-8DP is ideal for systems where traditional sensors are too bulky or limited in range. Its ability to maintain accurate detection despite environmental changes makes it a preferred choice among engineers designing automated conveyors, packaging systems, and panel-integrated solutions. The sensor's long sensing distance from a small housing increases design flexibility without sacrificing response speed or reliability.
The Autonics PRDCM12-8DP Long-Distance Inductive Sensor is commonly used in automated assembly lines, robotic grippers, material feeders, gear position monitoring, and part counting stations. Its reliable long-distance detection, combined with fast switching and a durable connector, makes it easy to integrate into both new and retrofitted industrial systems. Engineers trust this model for consistent detection under high-speed, high-precision conditions.
