Automation Direct AM9-10-1H Sensor

Automation Direct AM9-10-1H is a tubular inductive proximity sensor designed to detect metal targets within a 6 mm sensing distance. It features a 12 mm diameter, 60 mm long body, and a chrome-plated brass housing. This shielded sensor is IP67-rated for harsh industrial environments and uses a 4-pin M12 quick-disconnect connector. It offers either a 0-10 VDC or 4-20 mA analog output, and it operates from a supply voltage in the 15–30 VDC range. The AM9-10-1H is part of Automation Direct's AM9 analog inductive sensor family and is documented as retired (retired March 2020), though it remains listed in catalogs and distributor sites. Mounting is semi-flush, making it suitable for compact installations. Typical applications include end-of-line or position sensing on conveyors, robotics, and other automated equipment where metal targets pass within the sensing gap. With its tubular form factor and shielded construction, it helps minimize EMI and exposure to contaminants while delivering a robust analog signal for PLCs and data acquisition systems.
