Description
PRFD Series
Full-Metal Long-Distance Cylindrical Inductive Proximity Sensors (Cable Type)
The PRFD series cable type cylindrical proximity sensors feature long sensing distances and full-metal housing and sensor heads made of stainless steel 303. The robust sensors are highly resistant to deformation and corrosion and can be applied in diverse environments including food and beverage manufacturing, chemical, and metalworking industries. The metal sensor head provides high resistance to impact and wear and the 360° ring type status indicator allows users to quickly identify operation status from various angles. The sensors are available in Ø 8 mm, Ø 12 mm, Ø 18 mm, and Ø 30 mm sizes for easy installation in tight spaces and various other user settings.

Full-metal Body Ideal for Application in Diverse Environments
The entire sensor including the sensor head and housing are made of stainless steel 303, providing a robust design and high resistance to deformation, corrosion, and spreading of bacteria. The sensors are ideal for application in diverse environments including food and beverage manufacturing, chemical, and metalworking industries.
-
Food and Beverage
The stainless steel 303 body minimizes the chance of bacteria spreading and the unibody design prevents cleaning agents or germicides from entering the sensor body.
-
Chemicals
The stainless steel 303 sensors are highly resistant to deformation and corrosion, which make it ideal for chemical applications.
-
Metalworking
The sensors are strong against impact and wear during metalworking applications.
Full-Metal Sensor Heads Provide Resistance to Impact and Wear
The Metal Sensor heads provide strong resistance to impact and wear, making the sensors ideal in environments where the sensor heads can be damaged or worn due to workpieces or wire brushes.
High Resistance to Magnetic Field Noise from Welding Current
PRFD(W) series full-metal inductive sensors feature high resistance to magnetic field noise from welding current.
-
Reduced Risk of Malfunction Caused by Aluminum Chips
The sensors are designed to minimize the risk of malfunction due to aluminum chips, offering high performance in environments with metal debris.
-
Oil-Resistant (PVC) Cable
The robust oil-resistant cable allows the sensors to be installed in environments with hydraulic fluids or cutting fluids.
-
Ring Type Status Indicator
The 360° ring type operation indicator (red LED) and stability indicators (green LED) allow users to quickly identify operation status from various angles.
Except for PRFDT08-2DO-V model
-
IP67 Protection Structure
The IP67 protection structure allows stable and error-free operation even in wet or dusty environments.
