Datasensing AK1/AN-3AAN Sensors

The Datasensing AK1/AN-3AAN Sensors are high-performance inductive sensors designed for reliable proximity detection. Featuring an M18 standard flush mount, these sensors offer a nominal sensing distance of 8mm and an operating distance range of 0 to 6.48mm. They are equipped with a shielded NO/NPN output type and a 2m axial PVC cable for easy installation. The sensors are constructed with durable nickel-plated brass housing and an active head made of PBT, ensuring robust performance in various industrial environments. These sensors are certified for use in hazardous areas, with approvals including II 3G Ex nA IIC T6 Gc and II 3D Ex tc IIIB T85°C Dc, making them suitable for both gas and dust environments. They operate within a voltage range of 10 to 30Vdc, with a no-load supply current of ? 20mA and a load current of ? 400mA. The sensors feature a yellow LED indicator for output state, and they are equipped with short-circuit, reverse polarity, impulsive overvoltage, and inductive load protection. With a switching frequency of 300Hz and a repeat accuracy of < 5%, these sensors provide precise and reliable performance. They are designed to withstand mechanical shocks and vibrations, complying with IEC 60068-2-6 and IEC 60068-2-27 standards. The sensors also offer excellent thermal stability with a thermal drift of Sr < 10% and a hysteresis range of 1 to 20%. The mechanical protection rating of IP67 ensures resistance to dust and water ingress, making them ideal for demanding industrial applications. Supplied with two M18x1 nuts, these sensors are ready for immediate deployment in your automation systems.
