## Summary description

The Autonics PRCM18-5DP is an M18 inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact object detection. It features a 5mm sensing distance, PNP output with normally open (NO) configuration, and operates on a 10-24V DC power supply. This robust sensor is ideal for industrial automation applications requiring precise position sensing and high-speed switching performance in various manufacturing environments.

## Long description

The Autonics PRCM18-5DP is a high-performance inductive proximity sensor engineered for precise, non-contact detection of metallic objects in industrial settings. Housed in a durable M18 cylindrical body, this sensor provides reliable operation and consistent performance, making it an essential component for automated machinery and production lines. Its robust design ensures longevity even in demanding manufacturing environments.
Advantages
This inductive sensor offers exceptional reliability due to its non-contact sensing technology, which eliminates mechanical wear and tear. The PNP output configuration combined with a normally open switching state allows for seamless integration into standard industrial control systems. Its compact M18 form factor facilitates easy installation in space-constrained areas, while the wide operating voltage range ensures compatibility with various power supply setups.
Suitable for
Automated assembly lines
Position detection of metal parts
High-speed counting applications
Industrial robotics and machinery
Packaging and sorting systems
When it may not be suitable
This sensor is specifically designed for detecting metallic objects and will not function for non-metallic materials such as plastic, wood, or glass. It is also not intended for use in environments with extreme chemical exposure or high-pressure washdown conditions unless additional protective housing is provided.
Key specifications
Sensing distance: 5 mm
Output type: PNP
Switching configuration: Normally Open (NO)
Operating voltage: 10-24 V DC
Housing diameter: M18
Body material: Metal
How to use
To install the sensor, mount it securely using the provided nuts on a stable bracket, ensuring the sensing face is directed toward the target object at a distance of less than 5 mm. Connect the wiring according to the standard PNP configuration, ensuring the power supply matches the 10-24 V DC requirement. Once powered, the sensor will detect metallic targets and trigger the output signal, which can be monitored via the integrated status indicator.
What to consider before purchase
Ensure the target object is made of metal
Verify that the 5 mm sensing range is sufficient for your application
Check that your control system is compatible with PNP output logic
Confirm the mounting space is adequate for an M18 diameter sensor
Usage recommendations
For optimal performance, maintain the sensor face free of metallic dust or debris and ensure the mounting bracket is vibration-free to prevent false triggering.
