It operates from a 15–30 VDC supply and uses a 3-wire PNP normally open output for straightforward integration into standard automation circuits. The compact 18 mm diameter housing with a 2 m lead supports easy mounting in tight spaces, while IP67 protection guards against dust and water ingress in harsh environments. A switching frequency up to 350 Hz enables reliable response for fast-moving parts on production lines. The PRL18-8DP is a metal-detection sensor suited for position sensing and object detection tasks in automated equipment, offering a robust, non-contact method to monitor metal targets in industrial settings. With its 3-wire PNP NO output, the sensor is typically wired to PLC inputs or relays, enabling straightforward integration into control loops. Its 2 m lead length provides flexible routing and simplifies installation in enclosures or on machine frames.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autonics","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":51660390826286,"sku":null,"price":44.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0818\/1038\/files\/Ebay_website_image_cb82f6ef-1c57-4c8b-8cd8-60eb0960d499.jpg?v=1769537254","url":"https:\/\/plgautomation.com\/products\/autonics-prl18-8dp-inductive-proximity-sensor","provider":"PLG Automation ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
