Datasensing AE1/AP-2A86 Sensors

The Datasensing AE1/AP-2A86 Sensors are high-performance inductive sensors designed for precision and reliability. Featuring an M8 unshielded design, these sensors operate with a NO/PNP output and come with a 5-meter axial cable for flexible installation. With a nominal sensing distance of 2.5mm and an operating range of 0 to 2.02mm, they are ideal for detecting standard targets of 8x8mm FE360. The sensors offer excellent correction factors for various materials, including copper (0.43), aluminium (0.51), brass (0.59), and stainless steel (0.83). Engineered for stability, they exhibit a thermal drift of Sr of less than 10% and a repeat accuracy of less than 5% at 24V and 23°C ±5°C. The hysteresis ranges from 1 to 20%, ensuring consistent performance. With a switching frequency of 5kHz and an operating voltage of 10 to 30Vdc, these sensors are versatile for various applications. They feature a no-load supply current of ? 10mA, a load current of ? 200mA, and a leakage current of ? 10?A. The output voltage drop is minimal at ? 1.8V @200mA, and the sensors can handle a max ripple content of ? 10%. For user convenience, a yellow LED indicates the output state, and the sensors are equipped with short-circuit, reverse polarity, impulsive overvoltage, and inductive load protection. The unshielded mounting and nickel-plated brass housing ensure durability, while the PBT active head material and IP67 mechanical protection make them suitable for harsh environments. The sensors come with 2 M8x1 nuts for easy installation and are approved with CE and UR certifications, meeting EMC compatibility standards IEC 60947-5-2. They are designed to withstand shocks and vibrations as per IEC 60068-2-6 and IEC 60068-2-27 standards, with an operating temperature range of -25°C to +70°C.
