Autonics PR18-5AO Inductive Proximity Sensor

• Type: Inductive Proximity Sensor

Autonics PR18-5AO Inductive Proximity Sensor, M18, 5mm Sensing, 100-240VAC, 2-Wire NO, Flush

The Autonics PR18-5AO is a standard cylindrical inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of metal objects in industrial automation environments. This model features an M18 diameter cylindrical housing and a 5mm sensing distance for flush/shielded installation directly into metal surfaces.

Operating on a wide power supply range of 100-240VAC, the PR18-5AO utilizes a 2-wire configuration with a Normally Open (NO) output. It provides a dependable switching signal when a metallic target enters its sensing field. The sensor has a response frequency of 20Hz and includes built-in surge, overload, and short circuit protection for enhanced durability.

With an IP67 protection structure, the PR18-5AO is resistant to dust and water, making it suitable for use in demanding industrial conditions. An integrated red LED indicator provides visual confirmation of the sensor's operation status. Constructed with a durable nickel-plated brass housing, this sensor offers a robust and cost-effective solution for various position sensing applications, such as detecting the presence or position of metallic parts on conveyor lines or automated machinery.
