The Datasensing AK6/BN-2A Inductive Sensor is designed for precision and reliability in industrial applications. Featuring a compact M18 short unshielded design, this sensor offers both Normally Open (NO) and Normally Closed (NC) NPN output functions. With a nominal sensing distance of 8mm and an operating range of 0 to 6.48mm, it is ideal for detecting standard targets of 24x24mm FE360. The sensor is equipped with a 2-meter axial PVC cable for easy installation and connectivity. Constructed from durable nickel-plated brass, the AK6/BN-2A ensures robust performance with a thermal drift of less than 10% and repeat accuracy under 5% at 24V and 23°C. It operates efficiently within a voltage range of 10 to 30Vdc, supporting a load current of up to 400mA with minimal leakage and output voltage drop. The sensor's high switching frequency of 2kHz and protective features, including short-circuit, reverse polarity, and impulsive overvoltage protection, make it suitable for demanding environments. The sensor's yellow LED indicator provides clear output state visibility, while its IP67 mechanical protection rating ensures resilience against dust and water ingress. With a tightening torque of 25Nm and supplied with two M18x1 nuts, the AK6/BN-2A is easy to mount and secure. It is compliant with CE and UR approvals and meets EMC compatibility standards IEC 60947-5-2, as well as vibration and shock standards IEC 60068-2-6 and IEC 60068-2-27. Operating effectively in temperatures ranging from -25°C to +70°C, this sensor is a reliable choice for various industrial sensing applications.
