Leuze PRK5/4P-M8P1 Polarized retro-reflective photoelectric sensor

Leuze PRK5/4P-M8P1 Polarized retro-reflective photoelectric sensor The PRK5/4P-M8P1 is a polarized retro-reflective photoelectric sensor designed for reliable object detection in conveyors and manufacturing lines. It uses a 4-pin M8 quick-connect interface and is suitable for DC control with a configurable output. The device supports standard sensor features such as background suppression and a robust M8 connector for easy field installation. Its compact footprint enables mounting in restricted spaces, while its polarized sensing approach improves reliability in dusty or glossy environments. Typical applications include part sensing on automated assemblies, bin filling, and process monitoring where a visible, narrow-beam IR detection zone is required. Electrical characteristics align with common industrial sensors: a DC supply within the standard 10–30 V range, low standby current, and an output that can be configured for normally open or normally closed operation depending on the variant. The sensor is compatible with standard industrial wiring practices and can be mounted via side-flush or bracket options, with typical IP-rated housings suitable for factory environments. No explicit packaging information is included here, but the device is built for integration with common control systems and automation I/O modules following standard safety and performance practices.
