Autonics Original PR08-2DP DC 10~30 2mm M8 Inductive Proximity Sensor PNP-NO(Unshielded)

Autonics Original PR08-2DP DC 10~30 2mm M8 Inductive proximity switch sensor PNP-NO (Unshielded)

This Autonics PR08-2DP DC 10~30 2mm M8 inductive proximity switch sensor PNP-NO is designed for reliable metal detection in industrial automation. Because it uses a dedicated IC developed by Autonics, it offers superior noise resistance and stable operation. Moreover, the diverse line-up in size and sensing distance allows this proximity switch to be used across various applications where precise object detection is required.

This inductive proximity sensor generates an electromagnetic field to sense metal objects accurately. It features a built-in sensitivity volume and supports no-contact detection, which helps reduce mechanical wear. While inductive sensors use a magnetic field to detect objects, capacitive sensors rely on an electric field. Therefore, to be detected by an inductive sensor, an object must be conductive, making it ideal for metals.

Since inductive sensors are typically optimized for metal targets, non-conductive materials may not be detected. However, capacitive sensors can also react to dielectric materials, making them suitable for both metal and non-metal targets. Consequently, the Autonics PR08-2DP becomes a dependable solution when durability, long service life, and efficiency are essential in industrial systems.
