The Autonics PRDCML12-4DP delivers a 4mm sensing distance for detecting 12Γ12Γ1mm iron targets, ensuring high accuracy in space-constrained applications. This long-body sensor features a flush-type M12 brass housing with nickel plating, offering corrosion resistance and mechanical durability in industrial environments. It operates on a DC 3-wire type 12β24VDC power supply and outputs a PNP Normally Open signal, which is compatible with most modern PLCs and control units. With a maximum current consumption of just 10mA and a residual voltage under 1.5V, it ensures efficient energy usage and low signal noise. The fast response frequency of 500Hz makes it ideal for high-speed operations. Rated IP67, the sensor is protected against dust and water, and it reliably operates in ambient temperatures ranging from β25Β°C to 70Β°C and humidity up to 95% RH. The standard connector-type cable simplifies installation and ensures quick wiring in production setups.
The flush mounting capability allows the sensor to be embedded directly into metal surfaces without interference, making it well-suited for dense machine assemblies or metallic control panels. Engineers prefer this model for applications that require high precision and minimal sensor protrusion. Its long body enables deeper mounting positions while maintaining front-facing detection reliability. The sensor performs consistently even in challenging environments with vibration, oil mist, or electrical noise, reducing maintenance needs and avoiding downtime.
The Autonics PRDCML12-4DP Long-Distance Inductive Sensor is widely used in robotic tooling systems, packaging lines, conveyor tracking units, elevator position sensing, indexing tables, and part feeders. It offers accurate non-contact detection of small metal components, making it valuable in tight automation cells where space is limited but performance cannot be compromised. Maintenance engineers value the sensorβs stability and fast switching speed, while system integrators rely on its compatibility with existing PLC frameworks.
