Autonics PR18-8AO Cylindrical Inductive Proximity Sensor

Autonics PR18-8AO is a cylindrical inductive proximity sensor from the PR series, built around an M18 (18 mm diameter) housing with an 80 mm overall length in a non-shielded AC design. This two‑wire sensor uses a normally open (SPST‑NO) output and is pre‑wired for straightforward integration into automation lines, conveyors, and machine fixtures, delivering reliable metal detection within an 8 mm sensing distance. It operates from an AC power supply in the 100–240 VAC range at 50/60 Hz, with an operating voltage window typically specified from about 85 to 264 VAC, enabling global compatibility. Ideal for end‑of‑travel and position sensing in automated equipment, its long, cylindrical form factor provides mounting flexibility in tight spaces where compact 8 mm proximity sensing is required.
