Balluff 516-113-BO-C Proximity Switch

Balluff BES 516-113-BO-C-PU-05 is a compact inductive proximity switch in a flush‑mount M12x1 barrel (Ø12 x 60 mm) designed for metal target sensing with a 2 mm nominal distance. It employs four wires with complementary PNP outputs (NO and NC), enabling either output to signal in normally open or normally closed configurations. Operated from 10–30 V DC, it delivers up to 200 mA of current with a switching frequency up to 800 Hz, making it suitable for fast automation cycles. The device uses a stainless‑steel housing with a PA 12 sensing face and is rated IP68 for robust protection against dust and immersion in harsh environments. A 5 m PUR cable (LiYY‑O) provides flexible, durable wiring for industrial installations, while the ambient temperature range spans −25 to +70 °C. This Balluff sensor is ideal for flush‑mounted sensing in control panels, conveyors, and machinery where reliable metal detection and dual output signaling (NO/NC) are required for safe, responsive automation decisions.
