The Autonics PRFDAWT08-2DO-IV Long-Distance Proximity Sensor delivers consistent detection with a 2mm sensing distance using a standard 12×12×1mm iron target, making it well-suited for precise object sensing in tight or high-vibration setups. It features an 8mm diameter sensing face and M12 cable connector type, enabling secure, tool-free installation and easy maintenance. Operating on a 12–24VDC power supply (tolerant from 10–30VDC), this sensor supports output currents between 3 to 100mA and includes essential safety features like surge protection, short-circuit prevention, and reverse polarity protection.
Housed in a PTFE-coated SUS303 stainless steel body with a rugged IP67 protection structure, the sensor is resistant to moisture, oil, and corrosive chemicals. The unit is built to withstand challenging industrial conditions, including ambient temperatures from -25°C to 70°C and vibration resistance up to 1.5mm amplitude at 10–55Hz along all axes. With a response frequency of 150Hz, it provides fast signal feedback in dynamic environments. Built-in red and green LED indicators simplify alignment and operational diagnostics. This sensor is engineered for industries requiring compact design, extended reliability, and enhanced safety.
