The 8 mm diameter device has a 45 mm long body and a 1.5 mm nominal sensing distance, making it suitable for tight spaces. The AE1-AN-1A variant provides a NPN, normally open output and is intended for flush-mount installations, with a 2 m (6.5 ft) axial cable for easy wiring to PLCs and automation controllers. Operating voltage for the AE1 series is DC, and this model is part of the AE1 Series standard-length M8 DC inductive proximity sensors, ideal for end-of-travel sensing on conveyors, limit sensing on equipment, and other position-sensing tasks in compact machinery. Its slim tubular form enables retrofits in constrained enclosures while delivering reliable metal detection in demanding industrial environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Automation","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":51660372410670,"sku":null,"price":87.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0818\/1038\/files\/Ebay_website_image_c4cbefe5-f9c3-43bc-90c3-0ec6a92f065c.jpg?v=1769536936","url":"https:\/\/plgautomation.com\/products\/automationdirect-ae1-an-1a-inductive-proximity-sensor","provider":"PLG Automation ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
