Datasensing AE1/AN-1A8F Sensors

The Datasensing AE1/AN-1A8F Sensor is a high-performance inductive sensor designed for precision and reliability. Featuring an M8 shielded design, this sensor operates with a nominal sensing distance of 1.5mm and an operating range of 0 to 1.21mm. It is optimized for standard targets of 8x8mm FE360, with correction factors for various materials including copper (0.29), aluminium (0.38), brass (0.49), and stainless steel (0.78). The sensor boasts a thermal drift of Sr of less than 10% and a repeat accuracy of under 5% at 24V and 23°C ±5°C. With a hysteresis range of 1 to 20%, it ensures consistent performance. This proximity sensor features an NPN output type with a normally open (NO) function and a switching frequency of 5kHz. It operates within a voltage range of 10 to 30Vdc, with a no-load supply current of ? 10mA and a load current of ? 200mA. The output voltage drop is minimal at ? 1.8V @200mA, and it includes essential protections such as short-circuit, reverse polarity, impulsive overvoltage, and protection against inductive loads. Constructed with a nickel-plated brass housing and a PBT active head, the sensor is designed for durability and reliability. It is equipped with a 2m PUR cable for easy connectivity and features a yellow LED indicator for output state. The sensor is CE and UR approved, with EMC compatibility per IEC 60947-5-2 standards. It withstands shocks and vibrations as per IEC 60068-2-6 and IEC 60068-2-27 standards, and offers mechanical protection with an IP67 rating. Supplied with two M8x1 nuts, it is easy to install with a tightening torque of 3Nm. Operating efficiently in temperatures ranging from -25°C to +70°C, the Datasensing AE1/AN-1A8F Sensor is an ideal choice for demanding industrial applications.
