NI40U-CP40-AP6X2

Product Description

This sensor features a 40mm sensing range and a flush mountable design, making it suitable for space-constrained installations. It operates with a 4-wire DC supply and provides PNP outputs with both normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC) configurations, offering flexibility in control logic. The sensor is housed in a durable CP40 rectangular housing, rated IP67, ensuring protection against dust and water ingress in harsh environments. Technically, the NI40U-CP40-AP6X2 operates at a nominal voltage of 24 VDC (10-30 VDC range) and has a switching frequency of up to 300 Hz. It features a temperature drift compensation and is designed to operate in temperatures from -25°C to +70°C. The sensor's output current is rated at 200 mA, and it includes reverse polarity and short-circuit protection, enhancing its reliability. The sensing face is made of PBT plastic, and the housing is designed to withstand mechanical impact and vibration. This sensor is part of Pepperl+Fuchs' extensive inductive sensor line, known for high quality and long service life. It is commonly used in material handling, packaging machinery, and automotive assembly lines. With its dual output (NO/NC) and robust construction, it provides a versatile solution for position sensing, presence detection, and counting applications. The NI40U-CP40-AP6X2 is a direct replacement for older models and is compatible with many PLCs and control systems. The Pepperl+Fuchs NI40U-CP40-AP6X2 is a robust inductive proximity sensor designed for industrial automation applications requiring reliable metal detection.

Technical Specifications

Version & Model Difference

The NI40U-CP40-AP6X2 is part of the NI40U series. Compared to older versions like NI40-CP40-AP6X, the 'U' suffix indicates an extended sensing range and improved temperature stability. The AP6X2 output stage is a 4-wire PNP with selectable NO/NC, whereas older AP6X versions were typically 3-wire with fixed NO. This model also features a higher switching frequency and better EMC immunity.
