Datasensing AT6/AN-3A Sensors

The Datasensing AT6/AN-3A Inductive Sensor is a robust and reliable solution for proximity detection needs. Designed with a compact M30 shielded short housing, this sensor offers a nominal sensing distance of 15mm and operates effectively within a range of 0 to 12.1mm. It features a standard target size of 45x45mm FE360 and provides correction factors for various materials, including copper (0.35), aluminium (0.45), brass (0.50), and stainless steel (0.70). Engineered for precision, the sensor boasts a thermal drift of Sr less than 10% and a repeat accuracy of less than 5% at 24V and 23°C ±5°C. Its hysteresis ranges from 1 to 20%, ensuring consistent performance. The sensor operates with an NPN output type and a normally open (NO) output function, supporting a switching frequency of 200Hz. It is compatible with an operating voltage of 10 to 30Vdc, with a no-load supply current of ? 20mA and a load current of ? 400mA. The sensor is equipped with a yellow LED indicator for output state and features comprehensive protection mechanisms, including short-circuit, reverse polarity, impulsive overvoltage, and protection against inductive loads. Its durable construction includes a nickel-plated brass housing and a PBT active head material, ensuring longevity and resilience in harsh environments. With a degree of protection rated at IP67, the sensor is resistant to dust and water ingress, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial applications. It is supplied with two M30x1.5 nuts for secure mounting and is approved by CE and cULus standards, ensuring compliance with international safety and quality regulations. The sensor's EMC compatibility aligns with IEC 60947-5-2 standards, and it is designed to withstand shocks and vibrations as per IEC 60068-2-6 and IEC 60068-2-27. Ideal for applications requiring precise proximity detection, the Datasensing AT6/AN-3A Inductive Sensor is a versatile and dependable choice for industrial automation systems.
