Leuze PRK 8/66.41-S12 | 50037134

The Leuze PRK 8/66.41-S12 Photoelectric Sensor is built on the retro-reflective sensing principle with a cubic metal housing that offers long-term mechanical stability and vibration resistance. With a sensing distance of 0 to 2 meters and a focused red LED beam at 660 nm, this sensor delivers precise object detection, even for highly transparent targets like PET bottles and thin glass sheets. It features dual push-pull transistor outputs that support both light switching (PNP) and dark switching (NPN), offering versatile compatibility with control systems. With a high-speed switching frequency of 1,500 Hz and a rapid response time of 0.33 ms, it is suitable for real-time feedback in fast-paced automation setups. The operating voltage ranges from 10 to 30 V DC, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial control panels. This sensor uses a 5-pin M12 male connector with a 90° turning configuration, ensuring simple and secure connections during installation. Built with a zinc metal housing and a glass lens cover, it withstands harsh conditions and offers reliable operation in extreme temperatures between -40°C and +60°C. Its protection class of IP67 / IP69K makes it resistant to dust, water jets, and high-pressure washdowns, making it ideal for industries like F&B, pharma, and packaging.

The Leuze PRK 8/66.41-S12 Photoelectric Sensor is specifically designed for challenging applications that involve detecting transparent materials. It performs exceptionally well in tasks like bottle presence detection on filling lines, film edge detection in packaging machinery, and glass panel sensing in automated handling systems. What makes it ideal for these scenarios is the use of autocollimation technology, which ensures that even highly reflective or low-contrast objects are detected with consistent accuracy. Whether you're working with clear plastic, thin films, or reflective surfaces, the sensor’s focused beam and high switching frequency ensure minimal false detections and better control of production flow. For Indian maintenance engineers, this means fewer sensor errors, faster commissioning using the built-in multiturn potentiometer, and longer operational uptime with minimal maintenance. The Leuze PRK 8/66.41-S12 Photoelectric Sensor combines speed, reliability, and durability to meet the exacting needs of modern automation systems.
