Leuze PRK18B.T2/4P-M12 Photoelectric Sensor

Leuze PRK18B.T2/4P-M12 : Reflection principle

The Leuze PRK18B.T2/4P-M12 Photoelectric Sensor (Part No. 50117363) is a high-performance photoelectric sensor designed for detecting highly transparent materials such as bottles, films, and glass panes. It operates on the reflection principle with an operating range of up to 4 meters and a typical range limit of 4.8 meters. The red LED light source (620 nm) ensures precise detection, supported by a multiturn potentiometer for easy adjustments.

This sensor features a durable die-cast zinc metal housing with a glass lens cover, offering robust protection in industrial environments.It supports two digital PNP switching outputs. These outputs offer both light and dark switching options. The device operates at a high switching frequency of 1,500 Hz. Its response time is just 0.333 milliseconds.

The Leuze PRK18B.T2/4P-M12 Photoelectric Sensor operates within a wide voltage range of 10–30 V DC and includes protective circuits for polarity reversal and short-circuit prevention. It connects via a 4-pin M12 male connector with A-coding and supports multiple mounting options, including front mounting, through-hole mounting, and optional mounting devices.

With a compact design (15 mm x 47 mm x 32.5 mm), IP67/IP69K protection, and ECOLAB material compatibility, this sensor is ideal for hygienic and harsh environments. It operates reliably in temperatures from -40°C to +60°C and is suitable for demanding industrial applications.

Our engineers carefully entered all the details of this sensor based on the datasheet. But mistakes can happen, even with our best efforts. So, it’s essential to be cautious and double-check everything. All trademarks and trade names used on our site  are the property of their respective owners.
