DataSensing – AM Series

Cylindrical Inductive Sensor M12

Brand : Datasensing

The DataSensing AM Series is a family of M12 inductive proximity sensors engineered for robust detection of metal objects in automation, material handling, and machine control applications. These sensors provide reliable short‑range detection with fast switching and excellent repeatability, making them well suited for conveyor systems, pick‑and‑place operations, limit sensing, and safety interlock monitoring. The M12 cylindrical housings with IP67 protection resist dust and moisture, providing durable performance in industrial environments.

AM Series sensors are available in shielded or unshielded variants with sensing distances typically ranging from 2 mm to 12 mm depending on the model. They utilize high‑frequency inductive fields to detect metallic targets without physical contact, and include robust electrical protections such as reverse polarity and short‑circuit immunity, as well as clear LED output indicators for easy installation and troubleshooting.
