Datasensing AK6/AP-3A8F Sensors

The Datasensing AK6/AP-3A8F Sensors are high-performance inductive sensors designed for precision and reliability. Featuring an M18 short shielded design, these sensors offer a nominal sensing distance of 8mm and an operating distance of 0 to 6.48mm, making them ideal for various industrial applications. The sensors are equipped with a PNP output type and a normally open (NO) output function, ensuring efficient proximity detection with a switching frequency of 2.5kHz. Constructed with a durable nickel-plated brass housing and a PBT active head, these sensors are built to withstand harsh environments, offering mechanical protection rated at IP67. The sensors are equipped with a 2m axial PUR cable for easy installation and connectivity. They also feature a yellow LED indicator for output state visibility, and are protected against short-circuits, reverse polarity, impulsive overvoltage, and inductive loads. With a thermal drift of less than 10% and a repeat accuracy of less than 5% at 24V and 23°C, these sensors provide consistent performance. The sensors are compatible with standard targets of 24x24mm FE360 and have correction factors for various materials, including copper, aluminum, brass, and stainless steel. Operating within a voltage range of 10 to 30Vdc, they have a no-load supply current of ? 10mA and a load current of ? 400mA, with a minimal output voltage drop of ? 1.5V at 400mA. The Datasensing AK6/AP-3A8F Sensors are CE and UR approved, ensuring compliance with international standards, and are designed to withstand shocks and vibrations as per IEC 60068-2-6 and IEC 60068-2-27. Supplied with two M18x1 nuts for secure mounting, these sensors are an excellent choice for applications requiring reliable and accurate proximity sensing.
