The Autonics PRDL12-8DP offers a sensing range of 8mm with a standard 25Γ25Γ1mm iron target, making it suitable for medium-range detection in compact systems. Built with a long-body M12 housing made of nickel-plated brass, it provides better mechanical stability in embedded applications. This non-shielded (non-flush) sensor supports DC 3-wire 12β24VDC input and outputs a PNP Normally Open signal, ensuring compatibility with most PLCs and industrial controllers. With current consumption capped at 10mA and residual voltage below 1.5V, it operates with high energy efficiency. Rated IP67, the sensor resists dust and moisture, making it dependable in rough industrial conditions. Its 400Hz response frequency ensures fast switching, crucial in high-speed automation tasks. The sensor works reliably in ambient temperatures from β25Β°C to 70Β°C and relative humidity levels up to 95% RH, maintaining consistent performance in varying environments.
The PRDL12-8DPβs long-body form allows it to be mounted securely into deeper panels and brackets, providing better alignment and vibration resistance. The non-flush design extends its sensing range while avoiding interference from nearby metals, helping ensure accurate performance in dense automation setups. Maintenance teams value its stability over long durations, while system designers benefit from its compatibility with tight layouts and control logic schemes.
The Autonics PRDL12-8DP Long-Distance Inductive Sensor is commonly used in automated conveyors, gear position tracking, machine safety feedback, sensor brackets, lift door monitoring, and robotic part detection. It enables reliable metal sensing at a longer range, even in industrial setups with tight spacing and dynamic movement. Engineers across industries appreciate its precision, speed, and ease of integration.
