It operates from 10–30 VDC and offers an NPN normally open output capable of up to ~200 mA, with a response frequency of roughly 300–700 Hz. Built into an 18 mm M18 threaded housing, it features a nickel-plated brass body, a robust sensing face, IP67 protection, and a pre-wired cable for quick installation. The device is rated for -25°C to +70°C and includes a built-in LED indicator to confirm sensing and outputs status. Commonly installed on packaging lines, conveyors, automated machinery, and assembly systems for position sensing and object detection, it supports fast, repeatable sensing of metallic targets for part counting, safety functions, and process sequencing in material handling systems, robotic cells, CNC machines, and packaging equipment. Common replacements include Autonics PR18-8DN2, Omron E2E-X8ME1, and Pepperl+Fuchs NJ18-18GK-E2.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autonics","offers":[{"title":"Used Surplus - Excellent Condition","offer_id":51660391383342,"sku":null,"price":53.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0818\/1038\/files\/10R6738-500.jpg?v=1775522726","url":"https:\/\/plgautomation.com\/products\/autonics-pr18-8dn-inductive-proximity-sensor","provider":"PLG Automation ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
