DataSensing – AE Series

Cylindrical Inductive Sensor M8

Brand : Datasensing

The DataSensing AE Series consists of compact inductive proximity sensors designed for reliable metal object detection in industrial automation and machinery control environments. Built in a robust M8 cylindrical housing with IP67 protection, AE sensors deliver dependable presence and position detection in confined spaces and standard automation tasks such as conveyor systems, part indexing, and machine protection. These sensors use inductive sensing technology to detect metallic targets without physical contact, making them ideal for high‑speed and repetitive detection applications.

AE Series models feature high switching frequencies, stable operation across varying temperatures, and built‑in protections against reverse polarity and short circuits to ensure long‑term reliability in industrial settings. With options for shielded or unshielded housings, various sensing distances, and flexible connection types (cable or M12 connector), the series allows straightforward integration into PLC and control systems in manufacturing, packaging, and material handling applications.
