Datasensing AE6/AN-1F Sensors

The Datasensing AE6/AN-1F Sensors are designed for precision and reliability in industrial applications. These inductive sensors feature a compact M8 short shielded design with a NO/NPN connection, making them ideal for tight spaces. The robust metal housing ensures durability, while the 360° visible LED status indicator provides clear operational feedback. With an IP67 protection rating, these sensors are resistant to dust and water, suitable for harsh environments. Available in standard and long-distance models, the AE6/AN-1F offers a nominal sensing distance of 1.5mm and an operating range of 0 to 1.21mm. It is optimized for a standard target size of 8x8mm FE360, with correction factors for various metals such as copper, aluminum, brass, and stainless steel. The sensor maintains high accuracy with a thermal drift of less than 10% and repeat accuracy under 5%. The AE6/AN-1F supports a switching frequency of 5kHz and operates within a voltage range of 10 to 30Vdc. It features short-circuit, reverse polarity, and impulsive overvoltage protection, ensuring reliable performance. The sensor's nickel-plated brass housing and PBT active head material provide excellent mechanical protection, while the M8 plug connection facilitates easy installation. With a weight of just 20g and dimensions of M8 x 1 / L = 40mm, this sensor is compact yet powerful. It is CE and UR approved, with EMC compatibility according to IEC 60947-5-2 standards. The AE6/AN-1F is supplied with two M8x1 nuts for secure mounting and can withstand operating temperatures from -25°C to +70°C. Ideal for applications requiring precise proximity detection, this sensor is a reliable choice for various industrial settings.
