Datasensing AK1/AP-4A Sensors

The Datasensing AK1/AP-4A Sensors are high-performance inductive sensors designed for a variety of applications. With a nominal sensing distance of 12mm and an operating range of 0 to 9.7mm, these sensors are ideal for precise proximity detection. They feature a standard target size of 36x36mm FE360 and offer correction factors for different materials, including copper, aluminum, brass, and stainless steel. The sensors boast a thermal drift of less than 10% and a repeat accuracy of under 5%, ensuring reliable performance. These sensors are equipped with a PNP output type and a normally open (NO) output function, with a switching frequency of 300Hz. 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 output voltage drop is minimal at ? 1V @400mA, and they feature short-circuit, reverse polarity, and impulsive overvoltage protection. The sensors are designed for unshielded mounting and have a robust nickel-plated brass housing with an IP67 degree of protection, making them suitable for harsh environments. The AK1/AP-4A Sensors come with a 2m PVC cable connection and are equipped with yellow LED indicators for output state. They have a time delay before availability of ? 50ms and are capable of withstanding shocks and vibrations as per IEC standards. The sensors are CE and UR approved, ensuring compliance with international safety and quality standards. Supplied with two M18x1 nuts, these sensors are easy to install and maintain, making them a reliable choice for industrial applications.
