PTFE Coating Prevents Malfunctions Due to Welding Spatter

The non-stick PTFE coating prevents welding spatter from sticking on to the sensors which minimizes the risk of malfunctions during welding applications.

Long Sensing Distance

The PRD series sensors feature longer sensing distance (1.5 to 2x) compared to Autonics PR series standard inductive sensors.

Strain Relief Cables

The PRD series features strain relief cables with improved flexural strength of cable connecting component, allowing higher durability when bending the cables.

*except PRDT08-□DO-□ model

Oil-Resistant (PVC) Cable

The robust oil-resistant cable allows the sensors to be installed in environments with hydraulic fluids or cutting fluids.

IP67 Protection Structure

The IP67 protection structure allows stable and error-free operation even in wet or dusty environments

Applications
