Autonics Original PR18-5DN DC10~30 5mm M18 Inductive Proximity Sensor NPN-NO (Unshielded)

Autonics Original PR18-5DN DC10~30 5mm M18 Inductive Proximity Sensor NPN-NO (Unshielded)

When you require a dependable m18 proximity sensor for precision metal-detection in industrial settings, this Autonics PR18-5DN is designed to meet that need. With its DC10-30 V specification, 5 mm sensing distance and robust M18 thread size, it’s a smart choice for applications requiring a reliable proximity switch sensor. In addition, you’ll find this offering excellent value compared to many alternatives in the market. This inductive proximity switch sensor forms an electromagnetic field to detect conductive metal objects without direct contact. In contrast, capacitive sensors detect dielectric or non-metal objects too, but for reliable metal-only detection this model excels. Moreover, because of its non‐flush (unshielded) installation, the design allows flexibility in mounting environments. Key features include NPN-NO output type, three-wire DC connection and a rugged IP67 protection rating which ensures long life under harsh conditions. Furthermore, built-in protections such as reverse polarity, surge and overcurrent safeguards enhance durability. Whether used instead of traditional limit switches or micro-switches, this proximity limit switch alternative offers high reliability and simple integration.
