Autonics Original PR12-2DP DC10~30 2mm M12 Inductive Proximity Sensor PNP-NO (Shielded)

This Autonics PR12-2DP DC10~30 2mm M12 autonics proximity switch is designed for reliable metal detection in industrial automation systems. With a dedicated IC providing excellent noise resistance, it performs consistently in demanding environments. Additionally, the diverse sensing line-up makes this inductive prox sensor suitable for various workflows, supporting efficient object detection without contact. Many engineers also consider how an inductive switch sensor compares in long-term durability, especially with precision feedback applications.

This autonics proximity switch produces an electromagnetic field to sense conductive metal targets accurately. It features an adjustable sensitivity volume and reduces mechanical wear by eliminating physical contact. While inductive sensors rely on magnetic fields, capacitive options respond to dielectric properties, enabling them to sense non-conductive targets when needed.

Because metal is the ideal detection target, this autonics proximity switch performs exceptionally well in conveyor systems, automated sorting, and positioning mechanisms. When comparing configurations, an inductive prox sensor may offer advantages in response time, while an inductive switch sensor often excels in rugged industrial environments.
