Datasensing AK1/AN-1A Sensors

The Datasensing AK1/AN-1A Sensors are high-performance inductive sensors designed for a variety of industrial applications. With a nominal sensing distance of 5mm and an operating range of 0 to 4.05mm, these sensors are ideal for precise proximity detection. They feature a standard target size of 18x18mm FE360 and offer correction factors for different materials, including copper (0.40), aluminum (0.48), brass (0.50), and stainless steel (0.86). The sensors exhibit minimal thermal drift of less than 10% and repeat accuracy of less than 5% at 24V and 23°C ±5°C. The AK1/AN-1A models are equipped with a variety of output options, including cable, M12, and plug cable exits, and are available in 2, 3, and 4-wire configurations. They also offer models with complementary output (NO+NC) and ATEX category 3 models upon request. The sensors operate at a switching frequency of 600Hz and support an operating voltage range of 10 to 30Vdc. They are designed with short-circuit, reverse polarity, and impulsive overvoltage protection, ensuring reliable performance in demanding environments. Constructed with a robust nickel-plated brass housing and a PBT active head, these sensors are shielded for flush mounting and can withstand operating temperatures from -25°C to +70°C. They are IP67 rated for mechanical protection and come with CE and UR approvals, as well as EMC compatibility with IEC 60947-5-2 standards. The sensors are supplied with two M18x1 nuts for easy installation and feature a yellow LED indicator for output state. With a weight of 130g and dimensions of M18 x 1 / L = 50mm, the Datasensing AK1/AN-1A Sensors are a reliable choice for industrial sensing needs.
