The Autonics PRT18-5DO sensor features a 5mm sensing distance, ideal for detecting standard iron targets sized 18Γ18Γ1mm. This model operates with a Normally Open control output on a DC 2-wire system (12β24VDC), with a leakage current of max. 0.6mA. A robust response frequency of 500Hz ensures fast and accurate detection in high-speed automation lines. With flush-type mounting, the sensor allows for precise alignment in compact assemblies. The residual voltage remains below 3.5V, maintaining signal integrity across sensitive PLC or relay circuits. These specifications make it dependable in precision-driven environments like bottling plants, part positioning units, and indexing conveyors.
Constructed with a nickel-plated brass body and PBT sensing face, the PRT18-5DO is built for durability under mechanical stress, moisture, and oil exposure. The sensor holds an IP67 protection rating, making it resilient to industrial washdowns, airborne particles, and vibration-prone environments. The ambient operating temperature range of -25Β°C to +70Β°C further enhances its usability in both hot and cold setups. With a compact weight of approx. 122g, it supports easy integration into control panels, bracket mounts, and equipment interiors. Its standard cable offers long-term reliability, while oil-resistant PVC options support usage near hydraulic or coolant zones.
The Autonics PRT18-5DO Cylindrical Inductive Proximity Sensor is widely used across metal detection systems, automated material handling lines, and robotic end-effector feedback. For maintenance engineers, it reduces troubleshooting time with its 2-wire configuration and stable signal output. Engineering students and trainers often use this model in real-time sensing labs to teach object detection accuracy and PLC interfacing. Whether applied in automotive production or packaging machinery, this model provides lasting performance and integration ease.
