Datasensing AE6/AP-1A Sensors

The Datasensing AE6/AP-1A Sensors are designed for precision and reliability in industrial applications. These inductive sensors feature an extremely compact M08 DC design with a robust metal housing, ensuring durability and longevity. The 360° visible LED status indicator provides clear operational feedback, while the IP67 housing protection guarantees resistance against dust and water ingress. For environments requiring additional safety measures, ATEX models in category 3 are available upon request. Engineered for complete protection against electrical damages, these sensors offer both standard and long-distance models, as well as standard and short body housing options. With a nominal sensing distance of 1.5mm and an operating range of 0 to 1.21mm, they are ideal for detecting standard targets of 8x8mm FE360. The sensors exhibit a correction factor for various materials, including copper (0.29), aluminium (0.38), brass (0.49), and stainless steel (0.78), ensuring versatile application across different surfaces. The AE6/AP-1A Sensors boast a thermal drift of Sr less than 10% and repeat accuracy under 5% at 24V and 23°C ±5°C. They feature a hysteresis range of 1 to 20%, a PNP output type with NO function, and a high switching frequency of 5kHz. Operating within a voltage range of 10 to 30Vdc, these sensors maintain a no-load supply current of ? 10mA and a load current of ? 200mA, with minimal leakage current and output voltage drop. Designed for ease of installation, the sensors come with a 2m PVC cable and are shielded for optimal performance. They include short-circuit, reverse polarity, and impulsive overvoltage protection, as well as protection against inductive loads. The nickel-plated brass housing and PBT active head material ensure robustness, while the sensors' compliance with CE UR and EMC compatibility standards (IEC 60947-5-2) guarantees reliable operation in challenging environments. With a mechanical protection rating of IP67 and resistance to shocks and vibrations (IEC 60068-2-6 / IEC 60068-2-27), the Datasensing AE6/AP-1A Sensors are a dependable choice for your proximity sensing needs.
