The DataSensing AK Series comprises M18 inductive proximity sensors designed to detect metallic targets in more demanding industrial automation applications. With larger cylindrical housings compared to smaller inductive models, AK sensors are rugged and reliable for conveyor monitoring, automated process control, machine safety, and equipment positioning tasks. The IP67‑rated housing ensures resistance to dust and water, while the inductive sensing principle provides non‑contact detection of metal objects without wear or mechanical degradation.
AK Series devices offer stable switching performance with high repeatability and include built‑in protections such as reverse polarity and short‑circuit immunity for dependable long‑term operation. Models in the series may be available with variable sensing distances and shielded or unshielded housings, allowing flexibility for installation in constrained spaces or environments with metal background interference.
