Product Overview
The Micro Detectors AK1/AP-4A is a inductive proximity sensor with M18 housing, non-flush mountable (unshielded), PNP, NO (normally open) output and 2 m cable.
An inductive proximity sensor detects metal without contact, using a high-frequency field at the sensing face. Because there are no moving parts and nothing touches the target, it outlasts mechanical limit switches in dusty, wet and high-cycle positions. Two details decide whether a given part will work in your machine: the sensing distance, which is quoted for mild steel and reduces for aluminium, brass and stainless; and whether the sensor is flush (shielded) — mountable level with surrounding metal — or non-flush (unshielded), which reaches further but needs a clear zone around the face.

Why Buy AK1/AP-4A from Industrypapa?
AK1/AP-4A — Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What is the price of AK1/AP-4A in India?
Current pricing for the AK1/AP-4A is shown on this page and includes a GST invoice. For OEM, project or repeat-order quantities, send us the quantity and we will quote bulk pricing.
Q2. What are the main specifications of the AK1/AP-4A?
The AK1/AP-4A is a inductive proximity sensor with M18 housing, non-flush mountable (unshielded), PNP, NO (normally open) output and 2 m cable. Full electrical data, wiring and dimensions are in the catalogue PDF linked above.
Q3. What is the difference between flush and non-flush mounting?
A flush (shielded) sensor can be screwed level into a metal bracket without false triggering. A non-flush (unshielded) sensor gives a longer sensing distance but needs a metal-free zone around its face.
Q4. Will the stated sensing distance apply to aluminium?
No. Rated sensing distance is quoted for mild steel. Aluminium, brass, copper and stainless steel all reduce it — allow a correction factor and always leave margin in the mounting.
Q5. Do you provide a GST invoice?
Yes. Every order from Industrypapa is supplied with a proper GST invoice valid for input tax credit.
Q6. Do you ship AK1/AP-4A outside India?
Yes. We ship to 220+ countries via DHL, ARAMEX and FedEx with full export documentation.
Q7. How quickly can the AK1/AP-4A be delivered?
In-stock orders placed before 2 PM are dispatched the same day from our Noida warehouse, reaching most Indian cities in 1–4 working days.
Q8. Can I get help choosing the right part?
Yes. Tell us the application — what you are detecting, the machine and the mounting — and our engineers will confirm whether the AK1/AP-4A is the right choice or suggest an alternative.
