The Autonics PR18-5DN2 belongs to the PR series – Cylindrical Inductive Proximity Sensors.
An inductive sensor replaces mechanical limit switches wherever a metal part has to be detected reliably at high speed: cams, gear teeth, cylinder end positions, pallets and conveyor carriers. Because nothing touches the target, the sensor keeps working in dust, oil mist and vibration.

Compatibility and replacement
Order with the full model code PR18-5DN2: in the Autonics code the letters and digits after the series select the size, sensing distance or resolution, the output type and the supply, so a different suffix may not fit your wiring.
If the label of the old unit is worn or the model is discontinued, send us a photo and we will confirm the current Autonics equivalent before quoting.
Before you replace it
- Output type (PNP or NPN) and NO/NC function
- Thread size and housing length
- Sensing distance
