How an inductive proximity sensor works
An inductive proximity sensor detects metal without touching it, using a high-frequency magnetic field at the sensing face. With no moving parts, it outlasts mechanical limit switches in dusty, wet and high-cycle positions.
The AM6/AP-3H is flush (shielded), so it can sit level with a metal bracket without false switching. The M12 plug lets you replace it in seconds without rewiring.

Why choose the Micro Detectors AM6/AP-3H
- Flush mounting: sits level with metal brackets
- PNP NO: standard logic for sourcing PLC inputs
- M12 plug: quick swap without rewiring
- Contact-free: no wear, long life
- Genuine spare: matches the original on European machines
Typical applications
- Metal part presence on conveyors
- Cylinder and slide end-position sensing
- Cam and gear tooth detection
- Packaging and assembly machines
Installation and setup tips
Mount the sensor flush in its bracket and set the gap to the target within the rated distance, leaving margin. Connect an M12 cable: brown to +24 V, blue to 0 V and black to the PLC input. Remember the rated distance is for mild steel; aluminium, brass and stainless reduce it.
