Datasensing AK1/AN-4H Sensors

The Datasensing AK1/AN-4H Sensors are high-performance inductive sensors designed for a variety of applications. Featuring an M18 unshielded design with NO/NPN output and M12 connection, these sensors offer a wide range of models including standard and long-distance options. They are available with cable, M12, and plug cable exits, and come in 2, 3, and 4-wire configurations. For specialized environments, ATEX models, category 3, can be requested. The sensors also offer models with complementary output (NO+NC). With a nominal sensing distance of 12mm and an operating distance of 0 to 9.7mm, these sensors are optimized for precision with a standard target size of 36x36mm FE360. They feature a correction factor for various materials, including copper (0.45), aluminium (0.53), brass (0.56), and stainless steel (0.77). The sensors maintain a thermal drift of Sr under 10% and repeat accuracy under 5% at 24V and 23°C ±5°C. They have a hysteresis range of 1 to 20% and a switching frequency of 300Hz. Operating on a voltage range of 10 to 30Vdc, the sensors have a no-load supply current of ? 20mA and a load current of ? 400mA. They ensure minimal leakage current (? 10?A) and a low output voltage drop (? 1V @400mA). The sensors are equipped with yellow LED indicators for output state and feature a time delay before availability of ? 50ms. They are protected against short-circuits, reverse polarity, impulsive overvoltage, and inductive loads. Constructed with a nickel-plated brass housing and PBT active head material, the sensors are robust and durable, with a tightening torque of 25Nm. They operate effectively in temperatures ranging from -25°C to +70°C and are designed to withstand shocks and vibrations as per IEC standards. With an IP67 degree of protection, they are suitable for harsh environments. The sensors are CE and UR approved, ensuring compliance with international standards. Each unit is supplied with two M18x1 nuts for easy installation.
