The Autonics Cylindrical Type Proximity Sensor PR12-4DN is a reliable inductive sensor for metal object detection in industrial automation. Furthermore with a compact M12 cylindrical body and a sensing distance of up to 4mm (for standard metal targets), it is ideal for use on machines, conveyors, assembly lines and custom jigs.
Additionally this model is a DC 3‑wire, NPN output sensor, which can be connected easily to PLCs, relays, counters and other control devices. It detects metal objects without physical contact , reducing mechanical wear and improving the life of your equipment compared to mechanical limit switches.
Even better the PR12-4DN features a rugged housing, good resistance to noise and stable performance in harsh environments. A built‑in operation LED makes it easy to see the ON/OFF status from the front of the sensor.
Moreover Autonics is a well‑known brand in industrial sensing and control, trusted in factories and automation projects worldwide.
