The Autonics PRL30-10DP delivers a reliable 10mm sensing distance using a M30 flush-mounted body that ensures stability and minimal interference from surrounding metallic structures. Designed for standard 30Γ30Γ1mm iron targets, the sensor integrates smoothly into PLC systems with its PNP Normally Open control logic and DC 3-wire 12β24VDC operation. With low current consumption of just 10mA and a residual voltage of 1.5V, the PRL30-10DP performs efficiently even in energy-sensitive environments. Its 400Hz response frequency enables quick switching for medium-to-fast-paced automation lines. The sensor body is built with nickel-plated brass housing and a reinforced polybutylene terephthalate sensing face, ensuring long-term durability in demanding industrial settings.
Engineered for rugged use, the PRL30-10DP meets IP67 ingress protection standards, making it resistant to dust, oil, and water exposure. Its operational temperature range of -25Β°C to 70Β°C allows deployment in both indoor and semi-harsh environments, including metal fabrication shops, conveyor stations, and packing systems. With a long-body design, it fits well into deep enclosures or recessed brackets without compromising on alignment. The use of standard and oil-resistant cables further enhances its adaptability across production lines. As part of Autonics' trusted cylindrical series, this sensor is backed by industry-proven reliability and consistent manufacturing quality.
