Automation Direct PD1-AP-1A Photoelectric Sensor

AutomationDirect PD1-AP-1A is a compact stainless-steel tubular inductive proximity sensor with a 5 mm diameter and 25 mm body that detects metal targets without contact. It offers a PNP, normally open (NO) output and arrives with a pre-wired pigtail for straightforward wiring, making it ready to install in tight spaces. With a 0.8 mm sensing distance and IP67 enclosure, the sensor is designed for harsh industrial environments and flush mounting in compact assemblies; the stainless-steel housing provides rugged durability and corrosion resistance. Its switching frequency reaches up to 5 kHz, enabling fast response on automated lines and conveyors where precise metal-detection is required. The PD1-AP-1A’s small footprint and rugged construction make it a reliable choice for compact position sensing in machine-building and other space-constrained industrial applications.
