Datasensing PFK1/BN-4HV5 Sensors

The Datasensing PFK1/BN-4HV5 Inductive Sensor is designed for precision and reliability in industrial applications. This unshielded D18 sensor features a nominal sensing distance of 12mm and operates effectively within a range of 0 to 9.7mm. It is optimized for a standard target size of 36x36mm FE360, with correction factors for various materials including copper (0.30), aluminium (0.38), brass (0.42), and stainless steel (0.65). The sensor boasts a thermal drift of Sr of less than 10% and a repeat accuracy of under 5% at 24V and 23°C ±5°C. With a hysteresis range of 1 to 20%, it ensures consistent performance. The PFK1/BN-4HV5 is equipped with proximity functions and an NPN output type, offering both NO and NC output functions. It supports a switching frequency of 1.5kHz and operates on a voltage range of 10 to 30Vdc. The sensor's no-load supply current is ? 15mA, with a load current capacity of ? 200mA and a leakage current of ? 10?A. It features a minimal output voltage drop of ? 2V at 200mA and a maximum ripple content of ? 10%. A yellow LED indicator provides a clear output state display. Engineered for durability, the sensor includes short-circuit, reverse polarity, impulsive overvoltage, and inductive load protections. Its unshielded mounting design is complemented by a robust AISI316L stainless steel housing and PPS active head material. The sensor is compatible with M12 plug connections and can withstand a tightening torque of 50Nm. It is CE, cULus, ECOLAB, and DIVERSY approved, ensuring compliance with industry standards. The sensor's mechanical protection is rated at IP67, and it is designed to endure operating temperatures from -40°C to +80°C, with short exposure tolerance up to 100°C during cleaning processes. Supplied with two M18x1 nuts, the sensor's dimensions are M18 x 1 / L = 63.1mm, and it weighs 55g. It meets EMC compatibility standards IEC 60947-5-2 and is tested for shocks and vibrations according to IEC 60068-2-6 and IEC 60068-2-27.
