PRF Series - Full-Metal Cylindrical Inductive Proximity Sensors
PRF Series Full-Metal Cylindrical Inductive Proximity Sensors

The PRF series cylindrical proximity sensors feature full-metal housing and sensor head 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 0.8 mm thick metal sensor head provides high resistance to impact and wear and the 360° ring type operation indicator allows users to quickly identify operation status from various angles.
Main features
- High resistance to impact and wear caused by contact with workpieces or wire brushes (sensor head/housing: stainless steel)
- Reduced risk of malfunction caused by aluminum chips
- 360° ring type operation indicator (red LED) (except M8 models)
- Oil resistant cable
- Protection structure: IP67
- PTFE coating prevents malfunctions caused by welding spatter (spatter-resistant models)

Available in Various Sizes and Cable Types
The sensors are available in M8, M12, M18, M30 size models, and cable/cable connector types allowing installation in tight or limited spaces and various other user settings.
Thick 0.8 mm Metal Sensor Heads Provide Resistance to Impact and Wear
The thick 0.8mm 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.
Except for ø8mm model.
- Impact Resistance
Initial state
After 150,000 cycles
After 300,000 cycles
(Normal operation)
Sensors can be used safely even in harsh operating conditions without risk of damage to the sensor heads.
- Wear Resistance
Initial state
After 30 minutes
After 3 hours
(Normal operation)
Sensors can be used safely even with the wear on the sensor heads caused by continuous wire brush use.
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 environment 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 Operation Indicator (Red LED)
The 360˚ ring type operation indicator allows users to quickly identify operation status from various angles.
Except for ø8mm model.
IP67 Protection Structure
IP67 protection structure allows the units to be safely applied in environments with dust or water.
High Durability in Welding Environment
Full-metal inductive sensors feature high resistance to magnetic field noise from welding current and the non-stick PTFE coating prevents welding spatter from sticking on to the sensors which minimizes the risk of malfunctions during welding applications
Spatter-Resistant PRFA□ Models
Normal operation even in short installation distance between sensor and welding area (10 mm front, 50 mm side installation)
Minimum distance is for M18 models, and distance may change depending on welding environment
Protection cover sold separately
PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) Coating : A synthetic fluoropolymer of tetrafluoroethylene which has high heat resistance properties, low coefficient of friction, high abrasion resistance, non-stick properties, and excellent dielectric properties.
